| Zusammenfassung |
| Investigations started 20 years ago in the Vallcebre research catchments with the objective of
better understanding the hydrological functioning of Mediterranean mountains
catchments. Findings obtained during the last two decades have shown that due to
their intermediate position between drier and wetter climatic areas, Mediterranean
mountain areas present a particular hydrological dynamics. The Vallcebre catchments
(0.15-4.17 km2) are located in a Mediterranean mountain area of the Pyrenean
ranges (1300 m a.s.l., North Eastern Spain), built up by sedimentary rocks and
silty-loamy soils. The vegetation cover is dominated by pastures and forests of Pinus
sylvestris, mostly occupying old agricultural terraces formerly covered by Quercus
pubescens. Some relatively small badlands areas are also present in the catchments.
Average annual precipitation is 867 |
