Rainfall-runoff transformation on urban catchments involves physical processes governing runoff production in areas (e.g., interception, evaporation, depression, infiltration). Some previous 1D/2D coupled models do not include these processes. Adequate representation of rainfall–runoff–infiltration within a dual drainage model is still needed for practical applications. In this paper we propose...

To quantify the effects of crown thinning on the water balance and growth of the stand and to analyze the ecophysiological modifications induced by canopy opening on individual tree water relations, we conducted a thinning experiment in a 43-year-old Quercus petraea stand by removing trees from the upper canopy level. Soil water content, rainfall interception, sap flow, leaf water potential and...

Atmospheric rainfall is one of the major sources water and nutrient inputs in forest stands. Understanding atmospheric partitioning hydrochemical fluxes stands critical for management monitoring regional pollution, especially high N deposition regions. In this study, annual collections were implemented to investigate partitioning, element concentrations, an evergreen coniferous (ECF) stand, a d...

In this work we study the interception of the requests performed by the mobile nodes in a wireless network. This interception can be achieved because a local cache is implemented in each wireless device. In that way, the nodes can serve the documents instead of forwarding the requests to the data servers. In our proposal, the interception is enhanced so it is also implemented when the mobile no...

There is strong empirical evidence on the importance of spatial pattern vegetation in dryland hydrologic and geomorphologic dynamics. However, changes cover are often linked, making it difficult to disentangle assess their independent hydro-geomorphologic roles. We used synthetic sponges placed soil surface mimic aboveground structure patches, manipulated patch as well sink capacity patches a s...

In lateral interception tasks balls converging onto the same interception location via different trajectories give rise to systematic differences in the kinematics of hand movement. While it is generally accepted that this angle-of-approach effect reflects the prospective (on-line) control of movement, controversy exists with respect to the information used to guide the hand to the future inter...

While tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) provide critical hydrological services to downstream regions throughout much of the humid tropics, catchment hydrology and impacts associated with forest conversion in these ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we compare the annual, seasonal and event-scale streamflow patterns and runoff generation processes of three neighbouring headwater catc...

Continuous hydrologic models account for the soil moisture balance in the catchment over a long-term period. Different hydrologic physical processes such as: interception, surface depression storage, infiltration, soil storage, percolation, and groundwater storage should be considered in continuous hydrologic modeling. In this paper, the Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS) model was used for conti...

Background and Objectives: Mineral topsoil moisture is a very important component of the hydrological balance in forests. The closely related to forest type, its woody species composition, stand age, structure through interception evapotranspiration. We aimed investigate response precipitation three treatments: under young Norway spruce, white birch, grass-dominated treeless gap at an acidic mo...
