| Zusammenfassung |
The understanding of landscape controls on the natural variability of
hydrologic processes is an important research question of the PUB
(Predictions in Ungauged Basins) initiative. Quantitative landscape ecology,
which aims at understanding the relationships of patterns and processes in
dynamic heterogeneous landscapes, may greatly contribute to this research
effort by assisting the coupling of ecological and hydrological models.
The present paper reviews the currently emerging rapprochement between
ecological and hydrological research. It points out some common concepts and
future research needs in both areas in terms of pattern, process and function
analysis and modelling. Focusing on riverine as well as semi-arid landscapes,
the interrelations between ecological and hydrological processes are
illustrated. Three complementary examples show how both disciplines can
provide valuable information for each other. I close with some visions about
promising (landscape) ecological concepts that may help advancing one of the
most challenging tasks in catchment hydrology: Predictions in ungauged
basins. |
