PLANTS IN WATER-CONTROLLED ECOSYSTEMS: ACTIVE ROLE IN HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES AND RESPONSE TO WATER STRESS - I. SCOPE AND GENERAL OUTLINE

Rodriguez-Iturbe I.; Porporato A.; Laio F.; Ridolfi L. (2001)

This series of four papers studies the complex dynamics of water-controlled ecosystems from the hydro-ecological point of view [e.g., I. Rodriguez-Iturbe, Water Resour. Res. 36 (1) (2000) 3-9]. After this general outline, ...
PLANTS IN WATER-CONTROLLED ECOSYSTEMS: ACTIVE ROLE IN HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES AND RESPONSE TO WATER STRESS - II. PROBABILISTIC SOIL MOISTURE DYNAMICS

Laio F.; Porporato A.; Ridolfi L.; Rodriguez-Iturbe I. (2001)

A stochastic model for soil moisture dynamics at a point is studied in detail. Rainfall is described as a marked Poisson process, producing a state-dependent infiltration into the soil. Losses due to leakage and ...
PLANTS IN WATER-CONTROLLED ECOSYSTEMS: ACTIVE ROLE IN HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES AND RESPONSE TO WATER STRESS - III. VEGETATION WATER STRESS

Porporato A.; Laio F.; Ridolfi L.; Rodriguez-Iturbe I. (2001)

The reduction of soil moisture content during droughts lowers the plant water potential and decreases transpiration; this in turn causes a reduction of cell turgor and relative water content which brings about a sequence ...
