  • Ecohydrological mediation of water budget partitioning and time scales of subsurface flow in a seasonally semi-arid grassland

    Creator:
    Pangle, Luke A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding how the interactions and feedbacks between plant function, climate, and soils ultimately affects the terrestrial water balance and subsurface flow processes is major challenge in scientific hydrology. This dissertation summarizes the findings of a manipulative climate warming experiment, an observational field study that utilized stable-isotope tracers, and associated modeling...

  • Hillslope hydrology : from patterns to processes

    Creator:
    Tromp-van Meerveld, Hilda J.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation re-examines the now standard perceptual model of hillslope hydrological response to rainfall, which includes the growth of a saturated wedge at the soil-bedrock interface or impeding layer. It also challenges the notion of bedrock impermeability and the assumption that the pattern of subsurface stormflow is determined by the...

  • Hydro-biogeochemical coupling at the hillslope and catchment scale

    Creator:
    van Verseveld, Willem J.
    Abstract:
    The specific objectives of this dissertation are to determine subsurface flow behaviors across different antecedent wetness conditions from a top-down perspective and to mechanistically assess the hydrological controls on DOC and N transport at the hillslope and catchment scale. The study area is a small catchment where hillslopes issue directly...
