TL;DR: The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macro-scale hydrologic model is distinguished from other Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer schemes (SVATS) by its focus on runoff processes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple equivalent model (SEM) was devised to reproduce the seasonal and annual fluxes simulated by 13 LSSs that participated in PILPS Phase 2(e) that were somewhat successful in reproducing the observed LSS response to a decrease in shortwave radiation and changes in wind speed forcings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used distributed hydrology-soil-vegetation model (DHSVM) to assess the hydrological effects of logging in the Pacific Northwest and found that, for current vegetation relative to all mature vegetation, increases in peak spring stream flow of only about 3% should have occurred over the entire basin.

TL;DR: It is estimated that the equivalent of nearly 76% of streamflow in the Cadillac Desert region is currently appropriated by humans, and this figure could rise to nearly 86% under a doubling of the region's population.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed possible changes in streamflow associated with logging in 23 western Washington catchments with drainage areas from 14 to 1600 km2 and found that statistically significant trends in annual streamflow minima are all decreasing and are apparently dominated by a regional climate signal associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, rather than land cover change.
