Hydrological interaction between surface and subsurface water systems has a significant impact on quality, ecosystems biogeochemistry cycling of both systems. Distributed models have been developed to simulate this function, but they require detailed spatial inputs extensive computation time. The soil assessment tool (SWAT) model is semi-distributed that successfully applied around the world. However, it not able two-way exchanges groundwater. In study, SWAT-landscape unit (LU) – based...
Abstract During the 20th century, afforestation resulted in plantations of Pine and Eucalypt becoming main crops north‐central Portugal with associated well‐known soil water repellency (SWR). The aim this study was to improve insights temporal dynamics abrupt transitions topsoil mechanism that determine behaviour SWR. Topsoil monitored Caramulo Mountains (north‐central Portugal) between July 2011 June 2012. intensity SWR measured situ at depths 0, 2.5 7.5 cm using ‘molarity an ethanol...
Abstract Terraces are a common Mediterranean feature influencing soils, slopes and subsurface hydrology; however, little is known about their impact on hydrological processes, especially in humid regions. This work studied erosion processes the “águas de lima” terrace system northwestern Iberia, characterized by wet season irrigation to keep soils saturated avoid frost winter pastures. Soil moisture, vegetation height, runoff sediment yield were monitored for terraced field northern Portugal...
Surface runoff generation capacity can be modified by land-use and climate changes. Annual volumes have been evaluated in a small watershed of tropical forest (Brazil), using the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. Firstly, accuracy SWAT predictions has assessed default input parameters improved automatic calibration, 20-year observations. Then, hydrological response under land uses (cropland, pasture deforested soil) alternative to change scenarios simulated. application showed that,...
Abstract The extensive afforestation of the Mediterranean rim Europe in recent decades has increased number wildfire disturbances on hydrological and sediment processes, but impacts headwater catchments is still poorly understood, especially when compared with previous agricultural landscape. This work monitored an agroforestry catchment north‐western Iberian Peninsula, plantation forests mixed traditional agriculture using soil conservation practices, for one year before fire three years...
Abstract. Hydrological disturbances could increase dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exports through changes in runoff and leaching, which reduces the potential sink function of peatlands. The objective this study was to assess impact hydrological restoration on processes DOC dynamics a rehabilitated Sphagnum-dominated peatland. A conceptual model calibrated water table coupled with biogeochemical module applied La Guette peatland (France), experienced rewetting initiative February 2014. (eight...
Abstract Mitigating and adapting to global changes requires a better understanding of the response Biosphere these environmental variations. Human disturbances their effects act in long term (decades centuries) consequently, similar time frame is needed fully understand hydrological biogeochemical functioning natural system. To this end, ‘Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique’ (CNRS) promotes certifies long‐term monitoring tools called national observation services or ‘Service...
Intensive agricultural and industrial activities are often considered major sources of water contamination. Currently, riparian vegetation (RV) is increasingly being promoted as a solution to balance the potentially adverse effects that agriculture may have on quality. Nonetheless, existing RV overlook in recent modelling efforts, failing capture current amount ecosystem services provide. Here, we used Soil Water Assessment Tool ecohydrological model simulate influence ground-true i)...
Numerous studies have pointed out the importance of groundwater and surface water interaction (SW–GW) in a river system. However; those functions rarely been considered large scale hydrological models. The SWAT-LUD model has developed based on Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model; it integrates new type subbasin; which is called subbasin-LU (SL); to represent floodplain area. New modules representing SW–GW exchanges shallow aquifer denitrification are model. In this study; was applied...
Abstract. Plant communities play a key role in regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions peatland ecosystems and therefore their ability to act as carbon (C) sinks. However, response global change, shift from Sphagnum-dominated vascular-plant-dominated peatlands may occur, with potential alteration C-sink function. To investigate how the main GHG fluxes (CO2 CH4) are affected by plant community change (shift dominance of Sphagnum mosses vascular plants, i.e., Molinia caerulea), mesocosm...
