Changes in the Flowing Drainage Network and Stream Chemistry During Rainfall Events for Two Pre-alpine Catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Izabela Bujak-Ozga, Jana Freiin von Freyberg

Many headwater catchments contain non-perennial streams that flow only during wet conditions or in response to rainfall events. The onset and cessation of flow result in a dynamic stream network that periodically expands and contracts. The onset of flow ca ...

Ecohydrological Dynamics and Temporal Water Origin in a European Mediterranean Vineyard

Paolo Benettin

Viticulture is an essential sector in agriculture as wine production plays a vital role in the socio-economic life of many countries, especially in the Mediterranean area. Grapevines are a valuable, long-lived species able to grow in hot and dry regions. W ...

Using continuous electrical conductivity measurements to derive major solute concentrations in karst systems

Paolo Benettin

Hydrochemical data of karst springs provide valuable insights into the internal hydrodynamical functioning of karst systems and support model structure identification. However, the collection of high-frequency time series of major solute species is limited ...

Spatially Explicit Linkages Between Redox Potential Cycles and Soil Moisture Fluctuations

Andrea Rinaldo, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Paolo Benettin, Manon Frutschi, Simiao Wang, Filippo Miele, Mitra Asadollahi

Reduction-oxidation cycles measured through soil redox potential (Eh) are associated with dynamic soil microbial activity. Understanding changes in the composition of, and resource use by, soil microbial communities requires Eh predictability under shiftin ...

Deriving Major Ion Concentrations at High Resolution from Continuous Electrical Conductivity Measurements in Karst Systems

Paolo Benettin

Time series of hydrochemical parameters support the investigation of dominant karst hydrological processes and conceptual model structures. Nevertheless, high costs for sample collection and analyses cause hydrochemical data to be rarely available at a suf ...

Isotope Ratio - Discharge Relationships of Solutes Derived From Weathering Reactions

Paolo Benettin

To date, the vast majority of studies seeking to link discharge to solute concentrations have been based on representations of fluid age distributions in watersheds that are time-invariant. As increasingly detailed spatial and temporal datasets become avai ...

Transit Time Estimation in Catchments: Recent Developments and Future Directions

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter, Myungjin Kim

Water transit time is now a standard measure in catchment hydrological and ecohydrological research. The last comprehensive review of transit time modeling approaches was published 15+ years ago. But since then the field has largely expanded with new data, ...

Phloem water isotopically different to xylem water: Potential causes and implications for ecohydrological tracing

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in xylem water are often used to investigate tree water sources. But this traditional approach does not acknowledge the contribution of water stored in the phloem to transpiration and how this may affect xylem wat ...
