The moisture content of dead fuels is an important determinant of many aspects of bushfire
behaviour. Understanding the relationships of fuel moisture with weather, fuels and …

In hydrology and geomorphology, less attention has been paid to rain event properties such
as duration, mean and peak rain rate than to rain properties such as drop size or kinetic …

Depending on season, rainfall characteristics and tree species, interception amounts to 15–
50% of total precipitation in a forest under temperate climates. Many studies have …

The role of leaf litter in hydrological processes and soil erosion of forest ecosystems is
poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted under simulated rainfall in runoff plots …

In mountain regions, soil landscapes are highly vulnerable against soil loss. Moreover,
these environments are particularly affected by land use changes, which influence soil …

Forest ecosystems typically have a large leaf-area index both within the crown level and on
the ground as litter, making interception a very important element of the forest water balance …

Rainfall interception and other hydrologic processes affected by the forest litter layer are
usually related to litter characteristics and rainfall conditions, with limited studies that …

We describe a novel method for partitioning evapotranspiration (ET) from isotopic
measurements of water vapor within large (4.86 m3) plot-scale gas exchange chambers …

A suite of models was used to examine the links between climate, fuels and fire behaviour in
dry eucalypt forests in south‐eastern Australia. Predictions from a downscaled climate …

Forest litter layer plays an important role in controlling water and soil loss; however, few
studies have examined how litter cover affects hydrological processes. In this research, the …
