As the terrestrial human footprint continues to expand, the amount of native forest that is free
from significant damaging human activities is in precipitous decline. There is emerging …

Research gaps in understanding flood changes at the catchment scale caused by changes
in forest management, agricultural practices, artificial drainage, and terracing are identified …

Ecosystems play a potentially important role in sustainably reducing the risk of disaster
events worldwide. Yet, to date, there are few comprehensive studies that summarize the …

A plenty of models exist for study of the soil erosion and sediment yield processes. However,
these models vary significantly in terms of their capability and complexity, input …

Although a few texts on forest hydrology are available, they cover very little, if any,

In this paper we explore several indicators to evidence the impact of land use change, and
particularly of urbanization/artificialization on discharge series of periurban catchments. A …
