Paired catchment studies have been widely used as a means of determining the magnitude
of water yield changes resulting from changes in vegetation. This review focuses on the use …

The covering of native soils with impervious surfaces (eg roofs, roads, and pavement)
prevents infiltration of rainfall into the ground, resulting in increased surface runoff and …

The purpose of this study was to determine the types and structures of small green spaces
(SGs) that effectively reduce air temperature in urban blocks. Six highly developed blocks in …

It is now well established that forested catchments have higher evapotranspiration than
grassed catchments. Thus land use management and rehabilitation strategies will have an …

Environmental flow assessment frameworks have begun to consider changes to flow
regimes resulting from land-use change. Urban stormwater runoff, which degrades streams …

Mean annual evapotranspiration from a catchment is determined largely by precipitation and
potential evapotranspiration; characteristics of the catchment (eg, soil, topography, etc.) play …

Carbon sequestration programs, including afforestation and reforestation, are gaining
attention globally and will alter many ecosystem processes, including water yield. Some …

Land use change in the form of urbanization is a direct driver affecting the provision of
ecosystem services from forests. To better understand this driver, we modeled the effects of …

The effects of climatic factors and vegetation type on evapotranspiration (E) and water use
efficiency (WUE) were analyzed using tower-based eddy-covariance (EC) data for nine …

The growth of vegetation is affected by water availability, while vegetation growth also feeds
back to influence regional water balance. A better understanding of the relationship between …
