Non‐perennial rivers and streams are ubiquitous on our planet. Although several metrics
have been used to statistically group or compare streamflow characteristics, there is …

Aquifer recharge through ephemeral streambeds is believed to be a major source of
groundwater recharge in arid areas; however, comparatively few studies quantify this …

Abstract Groundwater in sub-Saharan Africa supports livelihoods and poverty alleviation,,
maintains vital ecosystems, and strongly influences terrestrial water and energy budgets. Yet …

Shallow groundwater affects terrestrial ecosystems by sustaining river base-flow and root-
zone soil water in the absence of rain, but little is known about the global patterns of water …

Flooding is a major disturbance that impacts aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem
services that they provide. Predicted increases in global flood risk due to land use change …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Core Ideas Land surface models (LSMs) show a large variety in describing and upscaling
infiltration. Soil structural effects on infiltration in LSMs are mostly neglected. New soil …

It is commonly presumed that organic agriculture causes only minimal environmental
pollution. In this study, we measured the quality of percolating water in the vadose zone …

Dryland ecosystems cover 40% of the total land surface on Earth and are defined broadly as
zones where precipitation is considerably less than the potential evapotranspiration …

In arid central Australia, the∼ 1.14 Mkm2 endorheic Lake Eyre Basin (LEB) experiences
sporadic floods, and contains saline shallow groundwater. In this basin, where on-ground …
