The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical
zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality …

Water stable isotopes (18O and 2H) are widely used as ideal tracers to track water through
the soil and to separate evaporation from transpiration. Due to the technical developments in …

Current land surface models assume that groundwater, streamflow and plant transpiration
are all sourced and mediated by the same well mixed water reservoir—the soil. However …

The separation of storm hydrographs using stable isotope tracers dates back to the late
1960s. These studies ushered in a paradigm shift in how hydrologists conceptualized runoff …

In spite of trying to understand processes in the same spatial domain, the catchment
hydrology and water quality scientific communities are relatively disconnected and so are …

The complex interactions of runoff generation processes underlying the hydrological
response of streams remain not entirely understood at the catchment scale. Extensive …

Elevated phosphorus (P) concentrations in subsurface drainage water are thought to be the
result of P bypassing the soil matrix via macropore flow. The objectives of this study were to …

Intermittent rivers, those channels that periodically cease to flow, constitute over half of the
total discharge of the global river network and will likely increase in their extent owing to …

The vadose zone plays a crucial role in the water cycle for storing water, providing water to
vegetation and transporting solutes or degrading contaminants. Earth scientists have long …

In drought-sensitive lowland catchments, ecohydrological feedbacks to climatic anomalies
can give valuable insights into ecosystem functioning in the context of alarming climate …
