Aims The field of ecohydrology is providing new theoretical frameworks and methodological
approaches for understanding the complex interactions and feedbacks between vegetation …

Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) typically experience conditions of frequent to
persistent fog. On the basis of the altitudinal limits between which TMCF generally occur …

Several Andean countries have planned to restore forest cover in degraded land to enhance
the provision of multiple ecosystem services in response to international commitments such …

Despite their critical role as freshwater resources and their vulnerability to anthropogenic
pressures, our knowledge of the ecohydrology of tropical montane cloud forests remains …

Interactions between precipitation and forest canopy elements (bark, leaves, and epiphytes)
control the quantity, spatiotemporal patterning, and the chemical concentration, character …

Forests play an important role in the water cycle and in the control of soil erosion. The
canopy, as the first active surface of the forest, directly affects soil erosion by redistributing …

Assuming that co-distributed species are exposed to similar environmental conditions,
ecological niche models (ENMs) of cloud forest species were developed to study how …

Most studies to date in the humid tropics have described a similar pattern of rapid translation
of rainfall to runoff via overland flow and shallow subsurface stormflow. However, study sites …

While tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) provide critical hydrological services to
downstream regions throughout much of the humid tropics, catchment hydrology and …
