The catchment water balance approach was applied to a Mediterranean watershed forested with holm oak to evaluate the daily soil water reserve at the catchment level. After this, evapotranspiration and soil water content were combined to estimate the potential soil water reserve and evaluate plant water status at the catchment level. A close relationship was detected between leaf water potential and the soil water reserve, and was ﬁtted to a negative exponential curve to estimate predawn leaf water potential from a hydrological database. The proposed equation can help to predict the frequency, intensity, and length of droughts potentially capable of causing structural damage to the forest, from the hydrological time series records.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergkamp, Ger</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrological influences on the resilience of Quercus spp. dominated geoecosystems in central Spain</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geomorphology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">resilience</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shrubland</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water balance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0169555X97001074</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">101 - 126</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differences in vegetation cover within a landscape having a similar land use history, can be used to identify differences in recovery following disturbance according to landscape position. The objective of this study was to determine the resilience of oak-dominated communities at different landscape positions in a research area in central Spain as indicated by the relative recovery of Quercus ilex and Q. coccifera, and to relate this to the most important hydrological processes and properties at the slope sections scale. The results indicate that the geoecosystems on slope sections on north-facing slopes are more resilient than those on south-facing slopes. On the more degraded shrubland sites, the higher values of vegetation cover on the lower slope sections indicate the systems on these slope sections to be more resilient than those on the slope sections located higher up the slope. The hydrological factors that could possibly explain differences in vegetation type and cover were found to be distance to water resources at greater depths and incoming radiation controlling evapotranspiration. A conceptual model is presented that links the resilience of these systems to the hydrological conditions. On the basis of the presented model, it is postulated that recovery of the system is determined partly by access to deep water resources. It is suggested that differences in or degree of access to such water resources may cause these comparably looking systems to react differently to degradation and recovery</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Almeida, A.

The study utilized a 5.5 ha watershed near the town of Mora, center of Portugal. The watershed contained scattered cork- oak with natural pasture, which is probably the most representative formof landuse in the region. de 1990, que va mostrar la The project used the basic water balance equation, being evaluated incident rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration and changes in soil water storage. Measurements of the tree stands and canopies were included for the characterization of throughfall and stemflow. Interception was estimated to evaluate its effects onrainfallredistribution and onthe dynarnics of evapotranspiration. Collection of data for the intensive hydrologic study begun in October 1, 1988. During 1989, surface runoff was 10.8 percent of annual rainfall. For the same period, canopy interception by the Quercus suber stand was 15.4 percent and throughfall accounted for 84.6 percent of annual rainfall, as stemfiow was considered negligible. Statistical analysis of data related to the period January, 1990 to May, 1990 is now being undertaken. Itis apparent, however, from the study, that the data sets should be extended through further research to confirm the tentative hydrological trends of the first period.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
