An overview of current applications, challenges, and future trends in distributed process-based models in hydrology
Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s. Criticized
by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is …

Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale
Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …

More green and less blue water in the Alps during warmer summers
Climate change can reduce surface-water supply by enhancing evapotranspiration in
forested mountains, especially during heatwaves. We investigate this 'drought paradox'for …

Seasonal hysteresis of surface urban heat islands
Temporal dynamics of urban warming have been extensively studied at the diurnal scale,
but the impact of background climate on the observed seasonality of surface urban heat …

The role of landscape morphology on soil moisture variability in semi‐arid ecosystems
Previous studies on semi‐arid ecosystems have shown high values of soil moisture
variability (SMV) primarily induced by the combined effects of non‐uniform precipitation …

Constrained variability of modeled T:ET ratio across biomes
Abstract A large variability (35–90%) in the ratio of transpiration to total evapotranspiration
(referred here as T: ET) across biomes or even at the global scale has been documented by …

Why do we have so many different hydrological models? A review based on the case of Switzerland
Hydrology plays a central role in applied and fundamental environmental sciences, but it is
well known to suffer from an overwhelming diversity of models, particularly to simulate …

A versatile index to characterize hysteresis between hydrological variables at the runoff event timescale
This study presents a versatile index for the quantification of hysteretic loops between
hydrological variables at the runoff event timescale. The conceptual development of the …

Beyond the SCS‐CN method: A theoretical framework for spatially lumped rainfall‐runoff response
Since its introduction in 1954, the Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS‐CN)
method has become the standard tool, in practice, for estimating an event‐based rainfall …

Globally assessing the hysteresis between sub-diurnal actual evaporation and vapor pressure deficit at the ecosystem scale: Patterns and mechanisms
Hysteresis between sub-diurnal actual evaporation (AET)(or one of its components,
transpiration) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) at the species or individual ecosystem level …
