Ecological hydrology is defined as the study of hydrological processes such as flow rates, timing, and pathways of water at various time scales as they influence ecological processes. Data sets from Long Term Ecological Research sites were used to compare hydrologic processes in several very different ecosystems. Strong seasonal cycles of precipitation at some sites and its asynchronous timing relative to evapotranspiration rates results in seasonal streamflow patterns very different form those at Coweeta where precipitation is uniformly distributed and seasonal streamflow is controlled by summer evapottranspiration. Article reports a study and workshop comparing the hydrologic records at 8 LTER sites and 6 other locations.
