A variety of source patches were also identified spanning from "extreme sources" (Medicago sativa patches; equivalent to bare soil) to "poor sources" (areas scattered by dwarf-shrubs of Thymus vulgaris or herbaceous tussocks of Dactylis glomerata). Finally, we identified the volume of overland flow routing along the slope as a major controlling factor of "hydrological diversity" (heterogeneity of hydrological behaviours quantified as Shannon diversity index): when overland flow increases at the slope scale hydrological diversity diminishes.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:40:42 AEST ]]> Water-related ecological impacts of rill erosion processes in Mediterranean-dry reclaimed slopes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18148 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:41 AEDT ]]>
