Despite extensive studies on hydrological responses to forest cover change in small
watersheds, the hydrological responses to forest change and associated mechanisms …

Evaporation from wet canopies (E) can return up to half of incident rainfall back into the
atmosphere and is a major cause of the difference in water use between forests and short …

2009: A revised hydrology for the ECMWF model: Verification from field site to terrestrial …

Validating land-cover maps at the global scale is a significant challenge. We built a global
validation data-set based on interpreting Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced TM …

Hydrological sensitivity to forest change, defined as hydrological response intensity (%) per
unit of forest cover change (%), is essential for understanding the magnitude of possible …

Although regenerating forests make up an increasingly large portion of humid tropical
landscapes, little is known of their water use and effects on streamflow (Q). Since the 1950s …

Ideally, a seasonal streamflow forecasting system would ingest skilful climate forecasts and
propagate these through calibrated hydrological models initialized with observed catchment …

The humid tropics are exposed to an unprecedented modernisation of agriculture involving
rapid and mixed land-use changes with contrasted environmental impacts. Afforestation is …

With global climate change and irrational human activities, regional water resource conflicts
are becoming more and more pronounced. The availability of water resource in watersheds …

Abstract The Lake Naivasha Basin in Kenya has experienced significant land use cover
changes (LUCC) that has been hypothesized to have altered the hydrological regime in …
