Synopsis: Earth sciences: Geology & mineralogy: Hydrology:

Increased interest in urban hydrology and stormwater management shows how badly our engineered landscapes fit into the land where they were built.

according to Stephen Carpenter, one of the senior authors of the study and a professor at the Center for Limnology at UW-Madison. oethe main news is that agricultural production by clearing land in the tropics releases a lot of greenhouse

The system works by mimicking the natural hydrological cycle where seawater heated by the sun,

That number appears to be fixed, according to UNESCO s Intergovernmental Council of the International Hydrological Program (HIP.

which has evidenced itself in the measureable hydrological cycles of the planet. This obviously unsustainable course is causing the contamination of our fresh water supply.

Hydrological studies in the Rocky mountains involving the tiny mountain pine beetle a species of bark beetle have big implications for water resource management in Colorado and elsewhere.

These regions are at the bottom of the human development index and the bottom of the hydrological index.

Biological (and geological and hydrological! life continues to happen all around us except now scientists are physically

In the new study researchers analyzed the hydrologic topographic climatic and sedimentary features of Mummy Lake and the surrounding cliff area.

We measured large differences in hydrologic response between watersheds with different land-use histories and land cover said Fred Ogden STRI Senior Research Associate and Civil engineering Professor at the University of Wyoming.

and include this improved understanding in a high-resolution hydrological model that we are developing to predict land-use effects in tropical watersheds.

This study is based on a comprehensive set of eleven global hydrological models forced by five global climate models--a simulation ensemble of unprecedented size

Now a new analysis combining climate agricultural and hydrological models finds that shortages of freshwater used for irrigation could double the detrimental effects of climate change on agriculture.

But hydrological models looking at the effect of warming climate on freshwater supplies project further agricultural losses due to the reversion of 20 to 60 million hectares of currently irrigated fields back to rain-fed crops.

Agricultural models and hydrological models both incorporate the influence of climate but are designed by different scientific communities for different purposes.

and other climate factors may alter the yield for various crops hydrological models seek to estimate water-related characteristics such as stream flow water availability and storm runoff.

But when Elliott and colleagues fed each type of model with the same climate model forecasts the models produced dramatically different predictions about the future demand for freshwater irrigationthe researchers discovered discrepancies in how hydrological models incorporate processes such as the carbon cycle

which a multi-model ensemble of hydrological models was compared to a multi-model ensemble of crop models Elliott said.

Several modeling groups have changed already the way that they are modeling the hydrological cycle with respect to crops because of the results of this paper.

This should lead to more precise studies of the impact of climate change in Europe on air quality hydrology

The scientists from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and Bournemouth University concluded that although carbon recovered most quickly even after 80 years regrowing forests tended to have less carbon than old-growth forests.

Lead author Phil Martin a Phd student at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology said#oewe think plant species normally found in old-growth forests are failing to colonise regrowing forests

& Hydrology said#oeour results clearly indicate that preservation of old-growth forests is vital for the conservation of specialist species

The Everglades at the southern tip of Florida--the remains of what was once a vast ecosystem--is interconnected with a large hydrologic system that really begins in Orlando with the northern Everglades says Patrick Bohlen a professor of biology at University of Central Florida.

and the impact of ozone depletion on surface climate and the hydrological cycle was recognized not at all.

Today rising carbon dioxide levels are already disturbing earth's hydrological cycle making dry areas drier and wet areas wetter.

But in computer models simulating a world of continued CFC use the researchers found that the hydrological changes in the decade ahead 2020-2029 would have been twice as severe as they are expected now to be.

It will also inform our understanding of how carbon storage can be used to assess other fundamental ecosystem characteristics such as hydrology habitat quality and biodiversity.

On the other hand reforestation of existing grassland with teak (under sustainable forest management) would generate gains sufficient to offset the hydrological losses in all converted areas regardless of the value of carbon.

#Loss of eastern hemlock will affect forest water usethe loss of eastern hemlock from forests in the Southern Appalachian region of the United states could permanently change the area's hydrologic cycle reports a new study by U s. Forest Service

scientists at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory (Coweeta) located in Otto North carolina published online in the journal Ecological Applications and available now in preprint format.

Changes in local forest hydrology from the loss of eastern hemlock will largely depend on which species replace it.

The study was conducted at the U s. Forest Service Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in the Nantahala Mountains of western North carolina.

Lead author Dr Chris Huntingford from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in the UK said The big surprise in our analysis is that uncertainties in ecological models of the rainforest are significantly larger than uncertainties from differences in climate projections.

and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology said Building on this study one of the big challenges that remains is to include in Earth system models a full representation of thermal acclimation and adaptation of the rainforest to warming.

The principal threat to most Amazon freshwater ecosystems is large-scale alteration of the basin's natural hydrology.

These infrastructure projects together with deforestation-induced changes to regional rainfall could fundamentally change the hydrology of Amazon freshwater systems she added.

if uncontrolled such hydrological alterations could disrupt fish migrations and associated fishery yields threatening riverine livelihoods and food security.

Due to their very generic nature techniques used in this study can also be applied to other areas with similar eco-hydrologic issues to identify regions that warrant future management actions.
