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...

A macroscale measurement and modeling approach to improve understanding of the hydrology of steep, forested hillslopes

Creator:

Graham, Christopher Brian

Abstract:

The dominant controls on flow generation in steep, forested hillslopes are poorly understood. This dissertation examined the dominant flow processes operating at the hillslope scale, using a combined macroscale measurement and model development and analysis framework. Irrigation experiments at two steep forested hillslopes were conducted to isolate individual hillslope flow...
