We examine the feasibility and added value of upscaling point data of soil moisture from a
small-to a mesoscale catchment for the purpose of single-event flood prediction. We test the …

Heavy precipitation-induced flash floods are still a serious hazard and generate high
damages. In the context of climate change, an increase of the occurrence of flash floods is …

Large woody debris (LWD) is a natural component of watercourses. To prevent flood-related
damage caused by LWD, trunks and big branches are removed from the channels during …

Subsurface stormflow (SSF) can be a dominant run‐off generation process in humid
mountainous catchments (eg, Bachmair & Weiler, 2011; Blume & van Meerveld, 2015; …

Besides floodplains, hillslopes are basic units that mainly control water movement and flow
pathways within catchments of subdued mountain ranges. The structure of their shallow …

Identifying principles of water movement in the shallow subsurface is crucial for adequate
process-based hydrological models. Hillslopes are the essential interface for water …

Springs are autochthonous aquatic ecotones with complex functional properties and
heterogeneous eco-morphological structures. Within a small spatial extent, invertebrates are …

Vegetation is one of the main controlling factors in the system of flood runoff formation in
headwater areas. Especially the absence or presence of forests has a substantial influence …

Abstract The Ore Mountains were one of the important flood source areas for several heavy
floods over the last years. Reducing damages caused by floods demands sufficient …

Springs are crucial interfaces within the Earth's Critical Zone, connecting water and its
related matter and energy at different scales from the microscopic to the macroscopic level …
