TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use a combination of graphical results, absolute value error statistics (i.e. root mean square error), and normalized goodness-of-fit statistics (e.g. Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency coefficient, NSE) for quantifying the goodness of observations against model-calculated values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared two inverse methods: the traditional "trial and error" method and an inverse method using a global search algorithm referred to as the global multilevel coordinate search combined sequentially with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm.

TL;DR: Dynamic factor analysis results showed that groundwater concentration of three of the agrochemical species studied were affected by the same explanatory variables (water table depth, enriched topsoil, and occurrence of a leaching rainfall event, in order of decreasing relative importance).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential contribution of fog water captured by needle-leafed Erica arborea L. trees in a selected watershed of the Garajonay National Park (La Gomera Island) for a 2-yr period (February 2003-January 2005).

TL;DR: The cooler, wetter and shaded microenvironment provided by the cloud immersion belt represents a large-scale effect that is crucial for reducing the transpirational water loss of trees that have profligate water use, such as those of the 'laurisilva' cloud forests of the Canary Islands.
