The hydrology of tropical andean ecosystems: Importance, knowledge status, and perspectives
(2009-11)
This article highlights the economic and ecological value of the water resource systems of Ecuador’s paramo and montane forest region and gives a description, based on a survey of recent literature, of the mechanisms ...
Limnological changes in two shallow lakes from an urban reserve throughout a complete hydrological cycle: proposals for restoration and management
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2013-10)
We analysed the fluctuations of the limnological variables and phytoplankton structure in two shallow lakes located in an urban ecological reserve from Buenos Aires city (Reserva Costanera Sur) during a complete hydrological ...
Intensification of the Amazon hydrological cycle over the last two decades
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2013-05-16)
The Amazon basin hosts half the planet's remaining moist tropical forests, but they may be threatened in a warming world. Nevertheless, climate model predictions vary from rapid drying to modest wetting. Here we report ...
The Hydrologic Cycle of the La Plata Basin in the WCRP-CMIP3 multimodel dataset
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-10)
General circulation models (GCMs) forced under different greenhouse gases emission and socioeconomic scenarios are currently the most extended tool throughout the scientific community that is used to infer the future climate ...
Radiative constraints on the hydrological cycle in an idealized radiative-convective equilibrium model
(American Meteorological Society, 2009-01)
The radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative–convective equilibrium model formulated ...
Introduction to hydrology
(Humana Press Inc., 2014-01)
Hydrology deals with the occurrence, movement, and storage of water in the earth system. Hydrologic science comprises understanding the underlying physical and stochastic processes involved and estimating the quantity and ...
Eco-hydrological role of deep aquifers in the Salado sedimentary basin in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Springer, 2010-04)
Although not well known, the eco-hydrological functions of deep aquifers (those having no contact with surface hydrological events) play an important role in the hydrological regime because they can affect the type of ...
