Water travel times reflect hydrological processes, yet we know little about how travel times in
the unsaturated zone vary with time. Using the soil physical model HYDRUS‐1D, we derived …

The spatial and temporal controls of preferential flow (PF) during infiltration are still not fully
understood. As soil moisture sensor networks allow us to capture infiltration responses in …

Surface topography is an important source of information about the functioning and form of a
hydrological landscape. Because of its key role in explaining hydrological processes and …

The Water Framework Directive set for European Union countries the objective of restoring
the ecological and/or sediment continuity of rivers, as the latter is relevant for providing …

The temporal and spatial dynamics of streamflow presence and absence is considered vital
information to many hydrological and ecological studies. Measuring the duration of active …

According to Dooge (1986) intermediate-scale catchments are systems of organized
complexity, being too organized and yet too small to be characterized on a …

This study explores the suitability of a single hillslope as a parsimonious representation of a
catchment in a physically based model. We test this hypothesis by picturing two distinctly …

The fate and environmental effects of phosphorus (P) in natural waters depend on its
chemical forms. The particulate P (PP) concentration is dominant over the dissolved P …

Transpiration is a key process in the hydrological cycle, and a sound understanding and
quantification of transpiration and its spatial variability is essential for management …

Soil moisture at the catchment scale exhibits a huge spatial variability. This suggests that
even a large amount of observation points would not be able to capture soil moisture …
