Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water
transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this …

The Budyko models provide a transparent framework for analyzing climate-catchment
interactions and therefore have been widely used to quantify the role of vegetation …

Understanding hydrological effects of ecological restoration (ER) is fundamental to develop
effective measures guiding future ER and to adapt climate change in China's Loess Plateau …

There is an urgent need to develop agricultural methods that balance water supply and
demand while at the same time improve resilience to climate variability. A promising …

Technological and methodological progress is essential to improve our understanding of
fundamental processes in natural and engineering sciences. In this paper, we will address …

In this study we analyzed the spatial distribution, temporal variability and trends in reference
evapotranspiration (ET 0) in Spain from 1961 to 2011. Twelve methods were analyzed to …

Substantial climate change and intensive anthropogenic activities hamper efforts to explain
and predict the variability of the terrestrial water balance. The Budyko framework has …

Abstract The Millennium Drought lasted more than a decade and is notable for causing
persistent shifts in the relationship between rainfall and runoff in many southeastern …

The Budyko framework consists of a curvilinear relationship between the evaporative ratio
(ie, actual evaporation over precipitation) and the aridity index (ie, potential evaporation over …

Water availability is of importance for a wide range of ecological, climatological, and
socioeconomic applications. Over land, the partitioning of precipitation into …
