Hydrological monitoring of climatically and hydrologically distinct catchments can help to improve this understanding by shedding light on the interplay between antecedent soil moisture conditions, hydrological connectivity, and rainfall event characteristics. This knowledge is urgently needed considering that both the frequency and magnitude of extreme precipitation events are increasing worldwide as a consequence of climate change. In autumn 2018, we installed water level sensors to monitor stream water and near\uffe2\uff80\uff90stream groundwater levels at two Mediterranean forest headwater catchments with contrasting hydrological regimes: Font del Reg\uffc3\uffa0s (sub\uffe2\uff80\uff90humid climate, perennial flow regime) and Fuirosos (semi\uffe2\uff80\uff90arid climate, intermittent flow regime).

We explain these divergences by differences in antecedent soil moisture conditions and associated differences in catchment hydrological connectivity between the two catchments, which in this case are likely driven by differences in local climate rather than by differences in local topography. In contrast, during events of moderate and high mean rainfall intensities, including the storm Gloria, precipitation inputs and hydrological responses correlated similarly in the two catchments.

However, the characteristics of these networks are often poorly documented, making it difficult to prioritize conservation strategies and effectively protect grassland-dependent species. Objectives: We set to identify conservation priorities for (semi)natural grasslands by assessing habitat network characteristics based on a combination of monitoring data and scientific model output for European Ground Squirrel (EGS), a keystone grassland specialist, in agricultural settings of northern Serbia. Methods: We used the spatially explicit model, LARCH, to determine the current habitat networks and available monitoring data on presence/absence and habitat suitability together with Circuitscape to better understand the characteristics of those networks. The combination of modeling results and monitoring data was used to prioritize conservation measures for each network to support a stable and viable EGS metapopulation. Results: We identified 15 habitat networks. Our analysis showed that two of these need no interventions, but most of them need a mix of improving habitat quality and connections within and between the networks to support local populations and the metapopulation overall. Conclusions: Results revealed areas in which spatial adaptation measures (e.g., grassland restoration and corridor development) should be deployed to accommodate the long-term survival of EGS. It might be considered to stop conservation efforts in some abandoned networks as the network characteristics are too poor, and resources should be used to improve habitat networks that are still occupied.

This characteristic has led to the conservation and promotion of vegetative barriers as landscape elements by the Common Agricultural Policy and other policy initiatives. Numerous reviews have dealt with the trapping efficiency of vegetated barriers, although they usually focus on studies from humid climates where their implantation and survival are more favourable. However, vegetated barriers are also an attractive alternative in arid and semi-arid climates. They limit competition for water and nutrients with crops to a reduced area compared to other best management practices, such as cover crops. This study presents a review of trapping efficiency of sediment, runoff, and nutrients (P and N) by vegetative barriers in regions of humid and arid, and semi-arid, climates, and a strategy based on sediment trapping efficiency probability, which in turn is based on the results obtained from our review. Different types of independent variables were grouped and identified for the review: related to the vegetative barrier dimension (buffer width, slope of the plot, and buffer area ratio), and related to the experimental conditions (type of vegetation in the buffer, soil protection of the non-buffered area, type of climate, type of experimental measurement and origin of rainfall). An exploratory analysis evaluated the significance of the experimental variables, which identified the need to focus on experiments under natural rainfall since those carried out with simulated rainfall presented statistically significant differences. In general, average trapping efficiencies for runoff and sediment were 40.1 and 62.6 %, respectively. For nutrients, values of trapping efficiencies had an average of 44.9 % for phosphorus and 38.4 % for nitrogen. Runoff and sediment trapping efficiency in arid and semi-arid regions tended to be higher than in humid regions. Regarding dimensional variables, a positive trend was observed in the runoff and sediment trapping efficiency with the width of the vegetative barrier, with a large variability across all the width range. Finally, based on the results of our review, we developed a probabilistic model for sediment trapping efficiency as a normalised cumulative probability distribution function for the two climatic regions separately. Also, we developed it as a function of the width of the vegetative barrier for each climatic region, to facilitate decision-making. This model shows that in 92 % of the cases, a vegetative barrier will reduce erosion in humid climates, while this trapping efficiency will be 100 % in semi-arid and arid conditions. This analysis showed that vegetative barriers are an alternative to other best management practices, e.g. cover crops, when there are operational or agronomic impediments to their implementation, having a high success rate in reducing erosion in any agricultural area.", "keywords": ["2.

The concept can be used to explain timing and amount of matter transferred from RZs to streams in forest headwaters. Here, we investigated the potential impact of future climate changes on the long-term position of the DSL in a subhumid Mediterranean headwater catchment. We used the rainfall-runoff model PERSiST to simulate reference (1981\u20132000) and future (2081\u20132100) stream runoff. The latter were simulated using synthetic temperature, precipitation, and inter-event length scenarios in order to simulate possible effects of changes in temperature, rainfall amount, and rainfall event frequency and intensity. Simulated stream runoff was then used to estimate RZ groundwater tables and the proportion of lateral water flux at every depth in the riparian profile; and hence the DSL. Our simulations indicated that future changes in temperature and precipitation will have a similar impact on the long-term DSL position. Nearly all scenarios projected that, together with reductions in stream runoff and water exports, the DSL will move down in the future, by as much as ca. 30 cm. Shallow organic-rich layers in the RZ will only be hydrologically activated during sporadic, large rainfall episodes predicted for the most extreme inter-event length scenarios. Consequently, terrestrial organic matter inputs to streams will decrease, likely reducing catchment organic matter exports and stream dissolved organic carbon concentrations.

Although wheel tracks cover only a small portion of the surface of agricultural fields, their effect on surface runoff and sediment transport is substantial. Wheel tracks change the microrelief of the soil surface, and influence how the surface is further altered by rainfall and runoff. This study presents a plot-scale microrelief analysis of a tilled surface with wheel tracks under simulated rainfall. Digital elevation models of the microrelief with 1 cm spatial resolution were obtained using the Structure from Motion method. The random roughness, the structural connectivity, and functional connectivity were calculated for before-rainfall and after-rainfall soil surface conditions. The experiments were carried out on inclined, freshly-tilled plots (8 m long, 2 m wide). The wheel tracks were created by four passages of machinery in the slope direction (SWT) and in the contour-line direction (CWT). The experiments were compared to reference plots without wheel tracks (NWT). The wheel tracks increase water and sediment connectivity if they are oriented in slope-wise direction. Microrelief analysis shows that SWT drains water from the surrounding soil. The soil surface adjacent to SWT can also become more connected with the wheel track, due to changes in microrelief introduced by rainfall and runoff. The calculated higher connectivity in the SWT plot corresponded to the measured increased sediment loads. This suggests faster overland flow and therefore shorter flow pathways on the soil surface microrelief. CWT leads to a decrease in the water and sediment connectivity compared to the NWT and SWT plots. Although the surface runoff can overflow the CWT, the network of flow paths results in decreased flow velocity and a slower sediment transport rate. However, the CWT effect is not permanent, and declines as the wheel tracks become silted with the deposited sediment. It is shown that detailed microrelief data provide relevant information for a study of the changes in flow routing in a tilled agricultural field with the presence of a wheel track. SWT accelerates the runoff and especially the sediment transport. During a rainfall event, the hydraulic connection between the wheel track and the surrounding soil increases dramatically. CWT reduces the surface runoff and also the sediment transport. In the long term, rainfall events and surface runoff alter the microrelief connectivity, causing the soil surface to be more hydraulically connected, irrespective of the wheel track orientation. This study demonstrates the effect of wheel tracks on water and sediment transport. The results draw attention to the importance of appropriate soil protection measures, as a bare unprotected surface microrelief exposed to rainfall leads to increased sediment connectivity.

The merging of these two viewpoints shows the interlinked importance of the two scales. Soil health reflects the capacity of a soil to provide ecosystem services at a specific location, taking into account local climate and soil conditions. Soil is also an important component of a healthy and sustainable landscape, and they are connected by the water that flows through the soil and the transported sediments. Soils are linked to water in two ways: through plant-available water in the soil (green water) and through water in surface bodies or available as groundwater (blue water). In addition, water connects the soil scale and the landscape scale by flowing through both.

Although wheel tracks cover only a small portion of the surface of agricultural fields, their effect on surface runoff and sediment transport is substantial. Wheel tracks change the microrelief of the soil surface, and influence how the surface is further altered by rainfall and runoff. This study presents a plot-scale microrelief analysis of a tilled surface with wheel tracks under simulated rainfall. Digital elevation models of the microrelief with 1 cm spatial resolution were obtained using the Structure from Motion method. The random roughness, the structural connectivity, and functional connectivity were calculated for before-rainfall and after-rainfall soil surface conditions. The experiments were carried out on inclined, freshly-tilled plots (8 m long, 2 m wide). The wheel tracks were created by four passages of machinery in the slope direction (SWT) and in the contour-line direction (CWT). The experiments were compared to reference plots without wheel tracks (NWT). The wheel tracks increase water and sediment connectivity if they are oriented in slope-wise direction. Microrelief analysis shows that SWT drains water from the surrounding soil. The soil surface adjacent to SWT can also become more connected with the wheel track, due to changes in microrelief introduced by rainfall and runoff. The calculated higher connectivity in the SWT plot corresponded to the measured increased sediment loads. This suggests faster overland flow and therefore shorter flow pathways on the soil surface microrelief. CWT leads to a decrease in the water and sediment connectivity compared to the NWT and SWT plots. Although the surface runoff can overflow the CWT, the network of flow paths results in decreased flow velocity and a slower sediment transport rate. However, the CWT effect is not permanent, and declines as the wheel tracks become silted with the deposited sediment. It is shown that detailed microrelief data provide relevant information for a study of the changes in flow routing in a tilled agricultural field with the presence of a wheel track.

This makes a fragmentation at fine scale where a matrix forest surrounds the grassland fragments. Multiple studies have been realized about grassland fragmentation but in anthropic matrix like crops. There is no knowledge about the effect of fragmentation on the abandoned grasslands where the isolation can be minor but not the environmental change due to the surrounding forest in the smallest fragments. In this work, we studied abandoned Mediterranean mountain grasslands in an oak forest matrix. We surveyed the grassland communities and their soil properties in multiple fragments of different sizes and isolation. We classified the communities into different functional groups and calculated landscape variables of fragmentation. Then, we analysed the effect of the fragmentation on the richness of the functional groups and the grassland community. The results show that the fragmentation does not have any effect on the grasslands except on the communities in the extreme gradient of the vegetation succession, the annuals and fringe forest communities. The landscape configuration does not have effects on the grasslands. The smallest grasslands favoured the herbaceous fringe forest and the decrease of the annuals, due to higher amounts of soil organic carbon and less light availability and wetter conditions. Annual grasslands are more abundant in bigger fragments with drier conditions. The connectivity among fragments is not a problem for the grassland communities at fine scale. The typical grassland species show that they remain even in the smallest fragments although in theses the community is more similar to the forest fringe.", "keywords": ["Fragmentation", " grasslands", " communities", " annuals", " perennials", " Mediterranean", " forest", " connectivity", "15.

In this study, we assessed habitat quality by using the Syrph The Net database and data on decreasing species richness over a 25-year period for the two largest phytophagous hoverfly genera (Merodon and Cheilosia). Furthermore, within this time frame, we explored congruence between ecological responses (species richness and Biodiversity Maintenance Function for these two genera) and landscape structural changes through correlation analysis. Our results indicate that landscapes have experienced changes in aggregation, isolation/connectivity and landscape diversity, with these parameters being significantly correlated with Cheilosia species richness loss and habitat quality.

In this opinion paper, we assess how soils and associated land and water management can help achieve this goal, considering soils at two scales: local soil health and healthy landscapes. The merging of these two viewpoints shows the interlinked importance of the two scales. Soil health reflects the capacity of a soil to provide ecosystem services at a specific location, taking into account local climate and soil conditions. Soil is also an important component of a healthy and sustainable landscape, and they are connected by the water that flows through the soil and the transported sediments. Soils are linked to water in two ways: through plant-available water in the soil (green water) and through water in surface bodies or available as groundwater (blue water). In addition, water connects the soil scale and the landscape scale by flowing through both. Nature-based solutions at both soil health and landscape-scale can help achieve sustainable future development but need to be embedded in good governance, social acceptance and economic viability.</p>           <p>This article is part of the theme issue \u2018The role of soils in delivering Nature's Contributions to People\u2019.</p></article>", "keywords": ["Climate", "Sustainable Development Goals", "01 natural sciences", "12.

This paper aims to identify the degree of non\uffe2\uff80\uff90linearity of the relationship between event peak runoff and potential controls for different runoff generation mechanisms in a small agricultural catchment. The study is set in the 66\uffe2\uff80\uff89ha Hydrological Open Air Laboratory, Austria, where discharge was measured at the catchment outlet and for 11 sub\uffe2\uff80\uff90catchments or hillslopes with different runoff generation mechanisms. Peak runoff of 73 events was related to three potential controls: event precipitation, soil moisture and groundwater levels. The results suggest that the hillslopes dominated by ephemeral overland flow exhibit the most non\uffe2\uff80\uff90linear runoff generation behaviour for its controls; runoff is only generated above a threshold of 95% of the maximum soil moisture. Runoff generation through tile drains and in wetlands is more linear. The largest winter and spring events at the catchment outlet are caused by runoff from hillslopes with shallow flow paths (ephemeral overland flow and tile drainage mechanisms), while the largest summer events are caused by other hillslopes, those with deeper flow paths or with saturation areas throughout the year. Therefore, the response of the entire catchment is a mix of the various mechanisms, and the groundwater contribution makes the response more linear. The implications for hydrological modelling are discussed.</p", "keywords": ["13.

HOTSED was applied to assess the spatio-temporal variability of sediment source hotspots driven by rainfall-induced surface runoff across different climatic conditions and rainfall intensities. We analyzed four seasonal scenarios and four daily scenarios, including an ordinary event and three extreme events with different return periods (10-year, 30-year, and 50-year). A pre-existing polygon-based geomorphological map was used to spatially define sediment sources across the study area. The geomorphic Potential of each Sediment Source (PSS) was estimated through a qualitative scoring of map attributes, supported by semi-quantitative, spatially distributed indices, including slope, permafrost distribution, and a proxy for frost-cracking incidence on the bedrock. Structural Sediment Connectivity (STC) was estimated using a geomorphometric index based on a Digital Terrain Model. For each scenario, a proxy for the Potential for Sediment Transport (PST) was computed using a rainfall-calibrated index, applying a 0\u00b0C ground surface temperature threshold to exclude snow-covered areas. All components were then integrated through a raster-based equation, yielding the HOTSED model. In this dataset, for each analysed scenario, we provide the main raster input data used (i.e., PSS, STC, PST, and the snowfall coefficient \u03b4), as well as the final model outputs.\nThe dataset contains 16 folders: 8 scenarios (i.e., 4 seasonal scenarios + 4 short-term daily scenarios) with 2 different configurations (i.e., catchment outlet and main channels).

After all wild bees were identified to species level, from a subset of samples we measured the Intertegular distance ITD (distance between the wings) as body size and searched for functional traits regarding sociality (solitary, eusocial, parasitic) nesting type (below- or aboveground), and lecty (poly- or oligolectic). In addition, biotic and abiotic characteristics of these kettle holes were recorded to evaluate how they affect wild bee diversity. These factors included size of the kettle hole, the degree of isolation (number of neighboring kettle holes at different distances), percentage of flowering species and total of plant species (herbs and woody plants). We tested the effect of all these factors on wild bee abundance and bee species richness, as well on body size and functional traits.\n-\nApplied Methods for sampling and identification:\nCollection of individuals using colour traps. One trap had 6 coloured plastic containers (white, blue and yellow) placed in three levels randomly. Water with some drops of soap was added to each container and traps were place in each kettle hole during 48 hours. A total of 4 traps were set up in each kettle hole and a total of 36 kettle holes were studied. After 2 days insects trapped in the water were collected without differentiating the colour of the plastic container. Bee individuals were separated and taken to the lab for further preparation and identification.\n-\nBee specimens were pinned and dried at room temperature. Individuals were identified until species level by specialists K. Rupik from Bielefeld University and C. Saure at the Natural History Museum in Berlin. Information about functional traits regarding sociality, lecty and nesting were compiled from the literature with the final list of species. Body size was characterized as intertegular distance (distance between wings) measured in a subset of randomly selected individuals per species.\n\nResearch domain: Bee diversity", "formats":
