The robustness of the physically-based, semi-distributed hydrological model ECOMAG with respect to changing (climatic or land-use) conditions was evaluated for two basins, considered within the modelling workshop held in the frame of the 2013 IAHS conference in Göteborg, Sweden. The first basin, the Garonne River basin, France, is characterized mostly by changes in climatic conditions, while the second, Obyån Creek, Sweden, was exposed to drastic land cover change due to deforestation.
Hydrology under change: an evaluation protocol to investigate how hydrological models deal with changing catchments
Testing hydrological models under changing conditions is essential to evaluate their ability to cope with changing catchments and their suitability for impact studies. With this perspective in mind, a workshop dedicated to this issue was held at the 2013 General Assembly of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) in Göteborg, Sweden, in July 2013, during which the results of a common testing experiment were presented.
Performance of the COSERO precipitation–runoff model under non-stationary conditions in basins with different climates
This study is a contribution to a model intercomparison experiment initiated during a workshop at the 2013 IAHS conference in Göteborg, Sweden. We present discharge simulations with the conceptual precipitation–runoff model COSERO in 11 basins located under different climates in Europe, Africa and Australia. All of the basins exhibit some form of non-stationary conditions, due, for example, to warming, droughts or land-cover change.
Stability of environmental reference conditions as indicated by stream macroinvertebrate communities: a case study in the central United States
We examined macroinvertebrate community data from Missouri reference streams collected approximately 12 years apart to evaluate whether substantial changes in community metrics and/or taxonomic composition occurred over that period. We used analysis of variance to test whether metrics differed between years or between other variables and used non-metric multidimensional scaling to examine compositional differences among samples and the environmental variables that were most associated with these differences.
improved automated land cover updating approach by integrating with downscaled NDVI time series data
Land cover change monitoring is important for climate and environmental research. An automated approach for updating land cover maps derived from Landsat-like data is urgently needed to process large amounts of data. Change detection is an important part of the updating approach; however, pseudo-changes commonly occur because satellite images acquired in different seasons can capture phenological differences.
