Description
Summary:Ecohydrology is the study of the two-way interaction between the hydrological cycle and ecosystems. More broadly, it is the science of the linkages between life and water on Earth. On the one hand, the space and time variability of the hydrological cycle controls the water availability for ecosystems. On the other hand, ecosystems, especially through transpiration by vegetation, control the main pathway by which water returns to the atmosphere from land.
