Zusammenfassung: | Loheide et al. (2009) proposed a conceptual framework describing the groundwater-ecosystem connection in wet meadows of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges. This framework, based on field observations and hydrologic modeling, provides an understanding of how groundwater flow processes, both within meadow aquifers and at the watershed scale, affect vegetation patterning in the meadow. In the models presented, meadows with higher hydraulic conductivity than the surrounding bedrock were considered. |
