The role of pit-mound microrelief in the redistribution of rainwater in forest soils: a natural legacy facilitating groundwater recharge?

David Juricka et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the hydrological processes associated with the pit-mound microrelief and finds that it plays an important role in retention and redistribution of infiltrated water to the subsoil.

Effects of forest cover type and ratio changes on runoff and its components

Bingbing Ding et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of changes in forest cover type and cover percentage on total runoff and runoff components using simulation and filtering methods. The results showed that different forest types had varying impacts on total runoff and its components, and the proportion of interflow and groundwater flow increased with increasing forest cover rate.

The 2018-2020 Multi-Year Drought Sets a New Benchmark in Europe

Oldrich Rakovec et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of drought hazard in Europe from 2018 to 2020 by comparing it to past exceptional events. The 2018-2020 drought event is identified as unprecedented, with a large coverage area and long duration. The study also highlights the impact of global warming on drought events and predicts that Europe should be prepared for even more severe and longer-lasting drought events in the future.

Effects of different tree species on infiltration and preferential flow in soils developing at a clayey spoil heap

Lukas Jacka et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of tree species on soil infiltration, preferential flow, pore distribution, and properties, revealing differences in saturated hydraulic conductivity and preferential flow between alder, oak, and spruce trees. The results suggest that tree roots and litter quality indirectly impact macroporosity and pore connectivity, influencing soil infiltration and preferential flow dynamics.

Next generation swale design for stormwater runoff treatment: A comprehensive approach

Sujit A. Ekka et al.

Summary: Swales are widely used stormwater control measures for conveying and treating roadway runoff. They are also becoming popular as part of green infrastructure. By using engineered media and wetland conditions, the effectiveness of swales in reducing pollutants has been improved. Various factors, such as site constraints, local climate, and available funding, should be considered when selecting and designing swales.

The rise of compound warm-season droughts in Europe

Yannis Markonis et al.

Summary: Drought is a major threat to food security and ecosystem productivity in Europe, where an increase in shorter warm-season droughts has been observed. This calls for new adaptive water management policies to address the changes in drought typology and potential impacts on vegetation regimes and ecosystem functioning.

Effects of Forest Harvesting on Water and Sediment Yields: a Review Toward Better Mitigation and Rehabilitation Strategies

Rodolfo Picchio et al.

Summary: Paired catchment studies have shown the negative impacts of forest harvesting on forested watersheds, leading to the implementation of best management practices to reduce runoff and sediment delivery. Recent research indicates the need for targeted BMPs to effectively decrease runoff and sediment transport, as well as the importance of considering the specific characteristics of each site for successful hydrological recovery.

Anthropogenic intensification of short-duration rainfall extremes

Hayley J. Fowler et al.

Summary: Short-duration rainfall extremes are intensifying as Earth's climate warms, leading to rapidly developing flash flooding, which calls for urgent climate change adaptation measures to manage increasing flood risks.
