High-elevation grasslands worldwide provide essential hydrological services including
water provision, flow regulation, and erosion control. Despite their importance, hydrological …

Soil hydraulic properties control the provision of hydrological services. Vegetation and
topography influence these properties by altering soil structure and porosity. The underlying …

As blue water resources become increasingly scarce with more frequent droughts and
overuse, irrigated agriculture faces significant challenges to reduce its water footprint while …

Vegetation plays a key role in the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. It can influence
soil water fluxes and transport, which are critical for chemical weathering and soil …

Polylepis trees grow at elevations above the continuous tree line (3000–5000 m asl) across
the Andes. They tolerate extreme environmental conditions, making them sensitive …

People living in the Great Rift Valley in East Africa suffer from fluorosis resulting from their
consumption of groundwater. This paper shows that geogenic fluoride contamination in a …

Traditional hydrometric data combined with environmental tracers such as water stable
isotopes contributes to improve the understanding of catchment hydrology. Nevertheless …

Accurate determination of the water retention curve (WRC) of a soil is essential for the
understanding and modelling of the subsurface hydrological, ecological, and …
