This study investigates how vegetation cover and irrigation affect the water balance and vegetation productivity of a small urban reserve in the Melbourne metropolitan area, Australia. Using a mechanistic ecohydrological model, a series of numerical experiments were carried out for the period 1999–2018, which included a prolonged drought. Results indicated that irrigation played an essential role in helping both trees and grass productivity by increasing soil moisture and vegetation water access during the drought. With 10% tree cover, grass benefitted more than trees by increasing irrigation, and trees coped well with drought even without additional water. However, trees strongly relied on irrigation to maintain productivity when tree cover increased, highlighting the need for a sustainable balance between increasing urban greening and water conservation. Differences in soil properties and rooting strategies were also found to strongly modify the need for irrigation and the competition for water. These results provide quantitative insights on how increasing tree cover and vegetation diversity may impact irrigation requirements, highlighting the key role of mechanistic numerical models to support urban planners in the evaluation and design of urban green spaces."}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","keyword":["Urban green spaces","Remnant vegetation","Irrigation","Stormwater harvesting","Ecohydrological modeling"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104198","article_type":"original","date_published":"2021-11-01T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","publication_status":"published","volume":215,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"11","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"first_name":"V.","full_name":"Marchionni, V.","last_name":"Marchionni"},{"last_name":"Fatichi","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","first_name":"Simone"},{"first_name":"N.","last_name":"Tapper","full_name":"Tapper, N."},{"first_name":"J.P.","full_name":"Walker, J.P.","last_name":"Walker"},{"first_name":"G.","full_name":"Manoli, G.","last_name":"Manoli"},{"last_name":"Daly","full_name":"Daly, E.","first_name":"E."}],"publication":"Landscape and Urban Planning","type":"journal_article","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10133304/1/REVISED_Manuscript_Marchionni.pdf"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104198","title":"Assessing vegetation response to irrigation strategies and soil properties in an urban reserve in southeast Australia","oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1872-6062"],"issn":["0169-2046"]},"extern":"1","article_number":"104198"},{"publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"page":"1-13","month":"07","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2021-09-12T22:01:24Z","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"S11407","_id":"25863FF4-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Game Theory","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"grant_number":"863818","name":"Formal Methods for Stochastic Models: Algorithms and Applications","_id":"0599E47C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"scopus_import":"1","conference":{"start_date":"2021-06-29","name":"LICS: Logic in Computer Science","end_date":"2021-07-02","location":"Rome, Italy"},"author":[{"last_name":"Chatterjee","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","first_name":"Krishnendu"},{"full_name":"Dvorak, Wolfgang","last_name":"Dvorak","first_name":"Wolfgang"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-5008-6530","first_name":"Monika H","full_name":"Henzinger, Monika H","id":"540c9bbd-f2de-11ec-812d-d04a5be85630","last_name":"Henzinger"},{"first_name":"Alexander","full_name":"Svozil, Alexander","last_name":"Svozil"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 36th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","type":"conference","doi":"10.1109/LICS52264.2021.9470739","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.07466"}],"oa":1,"title":"Symbolic time and space tradeoffs for probabilistic verification","publication_identifier":{"eisbn":["978-1-6654-4895-6"],"isbn":["978-1-6654-4896-3"],"issn":["1043-6871"]},"oa_version":"Preprint","_id":"10002","status":"public","publisher":"IEEE","acknowledgement":"The authors are grateful to the anonymous referees for their valuable comments.

This problem generalizes the SCC decomposition problem of graphs and closed recurrent sets of Markov chains. The model of symbolic algorithms is widely used in formal verification and model-checking, where access to the input model is restricted to only symbolic operations (e.g., basic set operations and computation of one-step neighborhood). For an input MDP with  n  vertices and  m  edges, the classical symbolic algorithm from the 1990s for the MEC decomposition requires  O(n2)  symbolic operations and  O(1)  symbolic space. The only other symbolic algorithm for the MEC decomposition requires  O(nm−−√)  symbolic operations and  O(m−−√)  symbolic space. A main open question is whether the worst-case  O(n2)  bound for symbolic operations can be beaten. We present a symbolic algorithm that requires  O˜(n1.5)  symbolic operations and  O˜(n−−√)  symbolic space. Moreover, the parametrization of our algorithm provides a trade-off between symbolic operations and symbolic space: for all  0<ϵ≤1/2  the symbolic algorithm requires  O˜(n2−ϵ)  symbolic operations and  O˜(nϵ)  symbolic space ( O˜  hides poly-logarithmic factors). Using our techniques we present faster algorithms for computing the almost-sure winning regions of  ω -regular objectives for MDPs. We consider the canonical parity objectives for  ω -regular objectives, and for parity objectives with  d -priorities we present an algorithm that computes the almost-sure winning region with  O˜(n2−ϵ)  symbolic operations and  O˜(nϵ)  symbolic space, for all  0<ϵ≤1/2 .","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","keyword":["Computer science","Computational modeling","Markov processes","Probabilistic logic","Formal verification","Game Theory"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/LICS52264.2021.9470739","date_published":"2021-07-07T00:00:00Z"},{"intvolume":"        40","file":[{"relation":"main_file","checksum":"7e5d08ce46b0451b3102eacd3d00f85f","access_level":"open_access","creator":"chafner","date_updated":"2021-10-18T10:42:15Z","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"10150","success":1,"date_created":"2021-10-18T10:42:15Z","file_size":17064290,"file_name":"elastic-curves-paper.pdf"},{"relation":"supplementary_material","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"0088643478be7c01a703b5b10767348f","date_updated":"2021-10-18T10:42:22Z","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"chafner","file_id":"10151","file_name":"elastic-curves-supp.pdf","file_size":547156,"date_created":"2021-10-18T10:42:22Z"}],"issue":"4","external_id":{"isi":["000674930900091"]},"publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","year":"2021","acknowledgement":"We thank the anonymous reviewers for their generous feedback, and Michal Piovarči for his help in producing the supplemental video.

In this work, we derive an intuitive but rigorous geometric characterization of the design space of plane elastic rods with variable stiffness. It enables designers to determine which shapes are physically viable with active bending by visual inspection alone. Building on these insights, we propose a method for efficiently designing the geometry of a flat elastic rod that realizes a target equilibrium curve, which only requires solving a linear program. We implement this method in an interactive computational design tool that gives feedback about the feasibility of a design, and computes the geometry of the structural elements necessary to realize it within an instant. The tool also offers an iterative optimization routine that improves the fabricability of a model while modifying it as little as possible. In addition, we use our geometric characterization to derive an algorithm for analyzing and recovering the stability of elastic curves that would otherwise snap out of their unstable equilibrium shapes by buckling. We show the efficacy of our approach by designing and manufacturing several physical models that are assembled from flat elements.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2021-10-18T10:42:22Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","date_updated":"2026-10-26T23:30:05Z","related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://ist.ac.at/en/news/designing-with-elastic-structures/","relation":"press_release","description":"News on IST Website"}],"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"12897","status":"public"}]},"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"MATERIALIZABLE: Intelligent fabrication-oriented Computational Design and Modeling","_id":"24F9549A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"715767"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2021-08-08T22:01:26Z","month":"07","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":40,"department":[{"_id":"BeBi"}],"article_number":"126","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1145/3450626.3459800","oa":1,"title":"The design space of plane elastic curves","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0730-0301"],"eissn":["1557-7368"]},"author":[{"first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Hafner","id":"400429CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Hafner, Christian"},{"first_name":"Bernd","orcid":"0000-0001-6511-9385","last_name":"Bickel","id":"49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Bickel, Bernd"}],"publication":"ACM Transactions on Graphics","scopus_import":"1","conference":{"start_date":"2021-08-09","end_date":"2021-08-13","name":"SIGGRAF: Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques","location":"Virtual"}},{"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2664-1690"]},"oa":1,"title":"Current status and future perspectives of Lithium metal batteries","doi":"10.15479/AT:ISTA:8067","type":"technical_report","author":[{"last_name":"Varzi","full_name":"Varzi, Alberto","first_name":"Alberto"},{"first_name":"Katharina","last_name":"Thanner","full_name":"Thanner, Katharina"},{"last_name":"Scipioni","full_name":"Scipioni, Roberto","first_name":"Roberto"},{"first_name":"Daniele","full_name":"Di Lecce, Daniele","last_name":"Di Lecce"},{"first_name":"Jusef","full_name":"Hassoun, Jusef","last_name":"Hassoun"},{"first_name":"Susanne","full_name":"Dörfler, Susanne","last_name":"Dörfler"},{"full_name":"Altheus, Holger","last_name":"Altheus","first_name":"Holger"},{"first_name":"Stefan","last_name":"Kaskel","full_name":"Kaskel, Stefan"},{"first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Prehal","full_name":"Prehal, Christian"},{"first_name":"Stefan Alexander","orcid":"0000-0003-2902-5319","full_name":"Freunberger, Stefan Alexander","last_name":"Freunberger","id":"A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425"}],"corr_author":"1","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"later_version","id":"8361"}]},"date_created":"2020-06-30T07:37:39Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"07","page":"63","department":[{"_id":"StFr"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"submitted","ddc":["540"],"date_published":"2020-07-01T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT:ISTA:8067","keyword":["Battery","Lithium metal","Lithium-sulphur","Lithium-air","All-solid-state"],"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","abstract":[{"text":"With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based anodes, lithium metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery community as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Among their remarkable properties are, for example, aesthetics of organic shapes, ability to evenly distribute loads, or efficient flow separation. They find applications across vast length scales ranging from sky-scraper architecture to microscopic devices. But, at\r\nthe same time, the design of curved shells and their manufacturing process pose a variety of challenges. In this thesis, they are addressed from several perspectives. In particular, this thesis presents approaches based on the transformation of initially flat sheets into the target curved surfaces. This involves problems of interactive design of shells with nontrivial mechanical constraints, inverse design of complex structural materials, and data-driven modeling of delicate and time-dependent physical properties. At the same time, two newly-developed self-morphing mechanisms targeting flat-to-curved transformation are presented.\r\nIn architecture, doubly curved surfaces can be realized as cold bent glass panelizations. Originally flat glass panels are bent into frames and remain stressed. This is a cost-efficient fabrication approach compared to hot bending, when glass panels are shaped plastically. However such constructions are prone to breaking during bending, and it is highly\r\nnontrivial to navigate the design space, keeping the panels fabricable and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. We introduce an interactive design system for cold bent glass façades, while previously even offline optimization for such scenarios has not been sufficiently developed. Our method is based on a deep learning approach providing quick\r\nand high precision estimation of glass panel shape and stress while handling the shape\r\nmultimodality.\r\nFabrication of smaller objects of scales below 1 m, can also greatly benefit from shaping originally flat sheets. In this respect, we designed new self-morphing shell mechanisms transforming from an initial flat state to a doubly curved state with high precision and detail. Our so-called CurveUps demonstrate the encodement of the geometric information\r\ninto the shell. Furthermore, we explored the frontiers of programmable materials and showed how temporal information can additionally be encoded into a flat shell. This allows prescribing deformation sequences for doubly curved surfaces and, thus, facilitates self-collision avoidance enabling complex shapes and functionalities otherwise impossible.\r\nBoth of these methods include inverse design tools keeping the user in the design loop.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-09-16T15:11:01Z","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"},{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"file":[{"file_name":"thesis_rguseinov.pdf","date_created":"2020-09-10T16:11:49Z","file_size":70950442,"success":1,"file_id":"8367","date_updated":"2020-09-10T16:11:49Z","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"rguseino","access_level":"open_access","checksum":"f8da89553da36037296b0a80f14ebf50","relation":"main_file"},{"file_name":"thesis_source.zip","file_size":76207597,"date_created":"2020-09-11T09:39:48Z","file_id":"8374","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed","date_updated":"2020-09-16T15:11:01Z","creator":"rguseino","relation":"source_file","access_level":"closed","checksum":"e8fd944c960c20e0e27e6548af69121d"}],"_id":"8366","status":"public","oa_version":"Published Version","day":"21","supervisor":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-6511-9385","first_name":"Bernd","id":"49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Bickel","full_name":"Bickel, Bernd"}],"year":"2020","citation":{"chicago":"Guseinov, Ruslan. “Computational Design of Curved Thin Shells: From Glass Façades to Programmable Matter.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2020. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT:ISTA:8366\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT:ISTA:8366</a>.","short":"R.

However, while OP-induced carbon emissions and biodiversity losses have received significant attention, OP water requirements have been marginalized and little is known on the ecohydrological changes (water and surface energy fluxes) occurring from forest clearing to plantation maturity. Numerical simulations supported by field observations from seven sites in Southeast Asia (five OP plantations and two tropical forests) are used here to illustrate the temporal evolution of OP actual evapotranspiration (ET), infiltration/runoff, gross primary productivity (GPP) and surface temperature as well as their changes relative to tropical forests. Model results from large-scale commercial plantations show that young OP plantations decrease ecosystem ET, causing hotter and drier climatic conditions, but mature plantations (age > 8−9 yr) have higher GPP and transpire more water (up to +7.7%) than the forests they have replaced. This is the result of physiological constraints on water use efficiency and the extremely high yield of OP (six to ten times higher than other oil crops). Hence, the land use efficiency of mature OP, i.e. the high productivity per unit of land area, comes at the expense of water consumption in a trade of water for carbon that may jeopardize local water resources. Sequential replanting and herbaceous ground cover can reduce the severity of such ecohydrological changes and support local water/climate regulation.","lang":"eng"}],"OA_type":"gold","has_accepted_license":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","date_published":"2018-06-18T00:00:00Z","ddc":["550"],"keyword":["Oil palm plantations","Tropical forests","Carbon/water fluxes","Biophysical modeling"],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (3.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aac54e","article_type":"letter_note","DOAJ_listed":"1","OA_place":"publisher","publication_status":"published","volume":13,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"06","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Environmental Research Letters","author":[{"last_name":"Manoli","full_name":"Manoli, Gabriele","first_name":"Gabriele"},{"last_name":"Meijide","full_name":"Meijide, Ana","first_name":"Ana"},{"full_name":"Huth, Neil","last_name":"Huth","first_name":"Neil"},{"full_name":"Knohl, Alexander","last_name":"Knohl","first_name":"Alexander"},{"full_name":"Kosugi, Yoshiko","last_name":"Kosugi","first_name":"Yoshiko"},{"first_name":"Paolo","full_name":"Burlando, Paolo","last_name":"Burlando"},{"last_name":"Ghazoul","full_name":"Ghazoul, Jaboury","first_name":"Jaboury"},{"first_name":"Simone","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","last_name":"Fatichi","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6"}],"oa":1,"title":"Ecohydrological changes after tropical forest conversion to oil palm","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1748-9326"]},"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1088/1748-9326/aac54e","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aac54e","open_access":"1"}],"article_number":"064035","extern":"1"},{"quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","month":"01","page":"922-933","publication_status":"published","volume":556,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"extern":"1","title":"Spatial variability of extreme rainfall at radar subpixel scale","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-1694"],"eissn":["1879-2707"]},"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2016.05.033","publication":"Journal of Hydrology","author":[{"last_name":"Peleg","full_name":"Peleg, Nadav","first_name":"Nadav"},{"first_name":"Francesco","full_name":"Marra, Francesco","last_name":"Marra"},{"first_name":"Simone","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","last_name":"Fatichi"},{"last_name":"Paschalis","full_name":"Paschalis, Athanasios","first_name":"Athanasios"},{"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Molnar","full_name":"Molnar, Peter"},{"last_name":"Burlando","full_name":"Burlando, Paolo","first_name":"Paolo"}],"scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       556","das_tickbox":"1","day":"01","publisher":"Elsevier","year":"2018","citation":{"ista":"Peleg N, Marra F, Fatichi S, Paschalis A, Molnar P, Burlando P. 2018.

These instruments measure rainfall at different spatial scales: rain-gauge samples rainfall at the point scale while weather radar averages precipitation on a relatively large area, generally around 1 km2. As such, a radar derived IDF curve is representative of the mean areal rainfall over a given radar pixel and neglects the within-pixel rainfall variability. In this study, we quantify subpixel variability of extreme rainfall by using a novel space–time rainfall generator (STREAP model) that downscales in space the rainfall within a given radar pixel. The study was conducted using a unique radar data record (23 years) and a very dense rain-gauge network in the Eastern Mediterranean area (northern Israel). Radar–IDF curves, together with an ensemble of point-based IDF curves representing the radar subpixel extreme rainfall variability, were developed fitting Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions to annual rainfall maxima. It was found that the mean areal extreme rainfall derived from the radar underestimate most of the extreme values computed for point locations within the radar pixel (on average, ∼70%). The subpixel variability of rainfall extreme was found to increase with longer return periods and shorter durations (e.g. from a maximum variability of 10% for a return period of 2 years and a duration of 4 h to 30% for 50 years return period and 20 min duration). For the longer return periods, a considerable enhancement of extreme rainfall variability was found when stochastic (natural) climate variability was taken into account. Bounding the range of the subpixel extreme rainfall derived from radar–IDF can be of major importance for different applications that require very local estimates of rainfall extremes.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2026-08-06T08:09:51Z"},{"doi":"10.1016/j.agrformet.2016.09.003","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/id/eprint/400572"}],"type":"journal_article","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0168-1923"],"eissn":["1873-2240"]},"title":"On the variability of the ecosystem response to elevated atmospheric CO2 across spatial and temporal scales at the Duke Forest FACE experiment","oa":1,"extern":"1","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Paschalis","full_name":"Paschalis, Athanasios","first_name":"Athanasios"},{"first_name":"Gabriel G.","last_name":"Katul","full_name":"Katul, Gabriel G."},{"last_name":"Fatichi","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","first_name":"Simone"},{"last_name":"Palmroth","full_name":"Palmroth, Sari","first_name":"Sari"},{"full_name":"Way, Danielle","last_name":"Way","first_name":"Danielle"}],"publication":"Agricultural and Forest Meteorology","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","volume":232,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","page":"367-383","month":"01","article_type":"original","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2016.09.003","keyword":["Ecohydrological modeling","Elevated CO2","FACE","Stomatal conductance model","Spatio-temporal variability"],"date_published":"2017-01-15T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","date_updated":"2026-08-06T07:51:48Z","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"While the significance of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration on instantaneous leaf-level processes such as photosynthesis and transpiration is rarely disputed, its integrated effect at ecosystem level and at long-time scales remains a subject of debate. In part, the uncertainty stems from the inherent leaf-to-leaf variability in gas exchange rates. By combining 10 years of leaf gas exchange measurements collected during the Duke Forest Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment and three different leaf-scale stomatal conductance models, the leaf-to-leaf variability in photosynthetic and stomatal conductance properties is examined. How this variability is then reflected in ecosystem water vapor and carbon dioxide fluxes is explored by scaling up the leaf-level process to the canopy using model calculations. The main results are: (a) the space-time variability of the photosynthesis and stomatal conductance response is considerable as expected. (b) Variability of the calculated leaf level fluxes is dependent on both the meteorological drivers and differences in leaf age, position within the canopy, nitrogen and CO2 fertilization, which can be accommodated in model parameters. (c) Meteorological variability is playing the dominant role at short temporal scales while parameter variability is significant at longer temporal scales. (d) Leaf level results do not necessarily translate to similar ecosystem level responses due to indirect effects and other compensatory mechanisms related to long-term vegetation dynamics and ecosystem water balance."}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":"       232","oa_version":"Accepted Version","_id":"22514","status":"public","citation":{"short":"A.

Direct leaf biochemical effects have been widely investigated, whereas indirect effects, although documented, elude explicit quantification in experiments. Here, we used a mechanistic model to investigate the relative contributions of direct (through carbon assimilation) and indirect (via soil moisture savings due to stomatal closure, and changes in leaf area index) effects of elevated CO2 across a variety of ecosystems. We specifically determined which ecosystems and climatic conditions maximize the indirect effects of elevated CO2. The simulations suggest that the indirect effects of elevated CO2 on net primary productivity are large and variable, ranging from less than 10% to more than 100% of the size of direct effects. For ET, indirect effects were, on average, 65% of the size of direct effects. Indirect effects tended to be considerably larger in water-limited ecosystems. As a consequence, the total CO2 effect had a significant, inverse relationship with the wetness index and was directly related to vapor pressure deficit. These results have major implications for our understanding of the CO2 response of ecosystems and for global projections of CO2 fertilization, because, although direct effects are typically understood and easily reproducible in models, simulations of indirect effects are far more challenging and difficult to constrain. Our findings also provide an explanation for the discrepancies between experiments in the total CO2 effect on net primary productivity."}],"date_updated":"2026-08-06T08:08:46Z","quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"11","page":"12757-12762","volume":113,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","extern":"1","pmid":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1091-6490"],"issn":["0027-8424"]},"title":"Partitioning direct and indirect effects reveals the response of water-limited ecosystems to elevated CO","oa":1,"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1605036113","open_access":"1"}],"doi":"10.1073/pnas.1605036113","type":"journal_article","publication":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences","author":[{"id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","last_name":"Fatichi","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","first_name":"Simone"},{"first_name":"Sebastian","last_name":"Leuzinger","full_name":"Leuzinger, Sebastian"},{"first_name":"Athanasios","last_name":"Paschalis","full_name":"Paschalis, Athanasios"},{"full_name":"Langley, J.

However, it is unclear in which configuration or under which boundary conditions these approximations can produce adequate estimates. In this study, two formulations with a quasi-3D approach are benchmarked against a fully 3D model (HYDRUS-3D). The formulations are: the Real-time Integrated Basin Simulator + VEGetation Generator for Interactive Evolution (tRIBS + VEGGIE) model that uses the Dupuit–Forchheimer assumption and the Tethys &amp; Chloris (T&amp;C) model that implements the kinematic approach. Effects of domain slope, hillslope size, event size and initial moisture conditions on simulated runoff and soil moisture dynamics are examined in event-based simulations at the hillslope scale. The Dupuit–Forchheimer assumption (tRIBS-VEGGIE) produces deviations from the HYDRUS-3D solutions only for simulations with initially dry soil. Using the kinematic approach (T&amp;C) results in deviations from the 3D solution primarily for the small hillslope domain in combination with a gentle slope angle. This applies especially to the partition between subsurface and surface runoff production, with T&amp;C being biased towards the latter. For all other cases investigated, the simpler formulations provide reasonable approximations of the 3D model.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2026-08-06T08:05:42Z","OA_place":"publisher","keyword":["hillslope hydrology","hydrologic modeling","parsimonious approximation","surface-subsurface hydrology"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.2166/nh.2015.126","article_type":"original","OA_type":"free access","date_published":"2016-04-01T00:00:00Z","month":"04","publication_status":"published","volume":47,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"page":"274-290","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","author":[{"first_name":"Luisa","last_name":"Hopp","full_name":"Hopp, Luisa"},{"first_name":"Simone","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","last_name":"Fatichi","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone"},{"first_name":"Valeriy Y.","last_name":"Ivanov","full_name":"Ivanov, Valeriy Y."}],"publication":"Hydrology Research","scopus_import":"1","extern":"1","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.2166/nh.2015.126","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.2166/nh.2015.126"}],"oa":1,"title":"Simulating water flow in variably saturated soils: A comparison of a 3D model with approximation-based formulations","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2224-7955"],"issn":["1998-9563"]}},{"article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:23Z","quality_controlled":"1","page":"45-60","publication_status":"published","volume":537,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"06","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","title":"An overview of current applications, challenges, and future trends in distributed process-based models in hydrology","oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1879-2707"],"issn":["0022-1694"]},"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2016.03.026","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3459&context=cee_facpub","open_access":"1"}],"extern":"1","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Journal of Hydrology","author":[{"first_name":"Simone","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","last_name":"Fatichi","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone"},{"full_name":"Vivoni, Enrique R.","last_name":"Vivoni","first_name":"Enrique R."},{"last_name":"Ogden","full_name":"Ogden, Fred L.","first_name":"Fred L."},{"first_name":"Valeriy Y.","last_name":"Ivanov","full_name":"Ivanov, Valeriy Y."},{"first_name":"Benjamin","full_name":"Mirus, Benjamin","last_name":"Mirus"},{"full_name":"Gochis, David","last_name":"Gochis","first_name":"David"},{"last_name":"Downer","full_name":"Downer, Charles W.","first_name":"Charles W."},{"first_name":"Matteo","full_name":"Camporese, Matteo","last_name":"Camporese"},{"first_name":"Jason H.","full_name":"Davison, Jason H.","last_name":"Davison"},{"first_name":"Brian","last_name":"Ebel","full_name":"Ebel, Brian"},{"full_name":"Jones, Norm","last_name":"Jones","first_name":"Norm"},{"full_name":"Kim, Jongho","last_name":"Kim","first_name":"Jongho"},{"last_name":"Mascaro","full_name":"Mascaro, Giuseppe","first_name":"Giuseppe"},{"first_name":"Richard","full_name":"Niswonger, Richard","last_name":"Niswonger"},{"first_name":"Pedro","last_name":"Restrepo","full_name":"Restrepo, Pedro"},{"full_name":"Rigon, Riccardo","last_name":"Rigon","first_name":"Riccardo"},{"last_name":"Shen","full_name":"Shen, Chaopeng","first_name":"Chaopeng"},{"first_name":"Mauro","full_name":"Sulis, Mauro","last_name":"Sulis"},{"first_name":"David","last_name":"Tarboton","full_name":"Tarboton, David"}],"intvolume":"       537","status":"public","_id":"22433","oa_version":"Accepted Version","das_tickbox":"1","day":"01","publisher":"Elsevier","year":"2016","citation":{"apa":"Fatichi, S., Vivoni, E.

Criticized by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is that these tools are necessary in many situations and, in a certain class of problems, they are the most appropriate type of hydrological model. This is especially the case in situations where knowledge of flow paths or distributed state variables and/or preservation of physical constraints is important. Examples of this include: spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture, groundwater flow and runoff generation, sediment and contaminant transport, or when feedbacks among various Earth’s system processes or understanding the impacts of climate non-stationarity are of primary concern. These are situations where process-based models excel and other models are unverifiable. This article presents this pragmatic view in the context of existing literature to justify the approach where applicable and necessary. We review how improvements in data availability, computational resources and algorithms have made detailed hydrological simulations a reality. Avenues for the future of process-based hydrological models are presented suggesting their use as virtual laboratories, for design purposes, and with a powerful treatment of uncertainty."}]},{"page":"362-382","publication_status":"published","volume":525,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"06","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:24Z","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","publication":"Journal of Hydrology","author":[{"first_name":"Simone","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","last_name":"Fatichi"},{"first_name":"S.","full_name":"Rimkus, S.","last_name":"Rimkus"},{"first_name":"P.","last_name":"Burlando","full_name":"Burlando, P."},{"first_name":"R.","last_name":"Bordoy","full_name":"Bordoy, R."},{"last_name":"Molnar","full_name":"Molnar, P.","first_name":"P."}],"title":"High-resolution distributed analysis of climate and anthropogenic changes on the hydrology of an Alpine catchment","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-1694"],"eissn":["1879-2707"]},"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2015.03.036","extern":"1","status":"public","_id":"22521","oa_version":"None","day":"01","das_tickbox":"1","publisher":"Elsevier","year":"2015","citation":{"chicago":"Fatichi, Simone, S.

We selected the upper Rhone\r\nbasin (Switzerland) as a test case for understanding anthropogenic impacts including climate change on\r\nwater resources and flood risk in the Alpine area. The upper Rhone basin contains reservoirs, river diversions and irrigated areas offering the opportunity to study the interaction between climate change effects\r\nand hydraulic infrastructure. Anthropogenic disturbances of the flow regime were implemented in detail\r\nin the hydrological analysis. We downscaled climate model realizations using a methodology that\r\naccounts for the uncertainty in climate change projections related to the stochastic variability of precipitation and air temperature. We showed how climate change effects on streamflow propagate from high\r\nelevation headwater catchments to the river in the main valley by analyzing changes in several hydrological metrics and at various temporal scales across 297 control sections. Changes in the natural hydrological regime imposed by the existing hydraulic infrastructure are likely larger than climate change\r\nsignals expected by the middle of the 21st century in most of the river network. Despite a strong uncertainty induced by stochastic climate variability, we identified an elevational dependence of climate\r\nchange impacts with a severe reduction in streamflow due to the missing contribution of water from\r\nice melt at high-elevation and a dampened effect downstream. Reduced ice cover and ice melt are likely\r\nto have significant implications for hydropower production. The impacts can emerge without any additional climate warming. A decrease of August–September discharge and an increase of hourly and daily\r\nmaximum flows appear as plausible projected change for the most part of the catchment. However, it is\r\nunlikely that major changes in total runoff for the entire upper Rhone basin will occur in the next four\r\ndecades."}],"OA_type":"closed access","date_published":"2015-06-01T00:00:00Z","keyword":["Climate change","Water resources","Stochastic approaches","Ice melt","Alps","Hydrological modeling"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2015.03.036","article_type":"original"},{"date_updated":"2026-08-10T12:09:26Z","abstract":[{"text":"The spatio-temporal variability of rainfall, especially at fine temporal and spatial scales can significantly affect flood generation, leading to a large variability in the flood response and uncertainty in its prediction. In this study we quantify the impact of rainfall spatial and temporal structure on the catchment hydrological response based on a numerical experiment. Rainfall ensembles generated using a state-of-the-art space–time stochastic model are used as input into a distributed process-based hydrological model. The sensitivity of the hydrograph to several structural characteristics of storm rainfall for three soil moisture initial conditions is numerically assessed at the basin outlet of an Alpine catchment in central Switzerland. The results highlight that the flood response is strongly affected by the temporal correlation of rainfall and to a lesser extent by its spatial variability. Initial soil moisture conditions play a paramount role in mediating the response. We identify the underlying mechanistic explanations in terms of runoff generation and connectivity of saturated areas that determine the sensitivity of flood response to the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall. We show that the element that mostly influences both the flood peak and the time of peak occurrence is the clustering of saturated areas in the catchment which leads to local enhanced runoff.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","keyword":["Flood response","Hydrological modeling","Stochastic rainfall modeling","STREAP"],"article_type":"original","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.04.014","OA_type":"closed access","date_published":"2014-06-06T00:00:00Z","oa_version":"None","_id":"22577","status":"public","publisher":"Elsevier","year":"2014","citation":{"ista":"Paschalis A, Fatichi S, Molnar P, Rimkus S, Burlando P. 2014.

These projections are however largely uncertain due to the spread among climate model realizations, internal climate variability, and difficulties in transferring climate model results at the spatial and temporal scales required by catchment hydrology. A combination of a stochastic downscaling methodology and distributed hydrological modeling was used in the ACQWA project to provide projections of future streamflow (up to year 2050) for the upper Po and Rhone basins, respectively located in northern Italy and south-western Switzerland. Results suggest that internal (stochastic) climate variability is a fundamental source of uncertainty, typically comparable or larger than the projected climate change signal. Therefore, climate change effects in streamflow mean, frequency, and seasonality can be masked by natural climatic fluctuations in large parts of the analyzed regions. An exception to the overwhelming role of stochastic variability is represented by high elevation catchments fed by glaciers where streamflow is expected to be considerably reduced due to glacier retreat, with consequences appreciable in the main downstream rivers in August and September. Simulations also identify regions (west upper Rhone and Toce, Ticino river basins) where a strong precipitation increase in the February to April period projects streamflow beyond the range of natural climate variability during the melting season. This study emphasizes the importance of including internal climate variability in climate change analyses, especially when compared to the limited uncertainty that would be accounted for by few deterministic projections. The presented results could be useful in guiding more specific impact studies, although design or management decisions should be better based on reliability and vulnerability criteria as suggested by recent literature.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","keyword":["Climate change","Hydrological modeling","Stochastic downscaling","Uncertainty","Water resources","Alps"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2013.12.014","article_type":"original","OA_type":"closed access","date_published":"2014-09-15T00:00:00Z"},{"type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.agrformet.2013.02.005","title":"Reconciling observations with modeling: The fate of water and carbon allocation in a mature deciduous forest exposed to elevated CO2","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0168-1923"],"eissn":["1873-2240"]},"extern":"1","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Simone","last_name":"Fatichi","id":"cf8e546b-a9b0-11f0-a43b-aa89ed1b56d6","full_name":"Fatichi, Simone"},{"first_name":"Sebastian","full_name":"Leuzinger, Sebastian","last_name":"Leuzinger"}],"publication":"Agricultural and Forest Meteorology","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2026-07-27T12:30:23Z","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":"174-175","page":"144-157","month":"06","keyword":["Ecohydrological modeling","Plant water relations","FACE experiments","Forest productivity","CO2 enrichment","Swiss Canopy Crane"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2013.02.005","article_type":"original","date_published":"2013-06-15T00:00:00Z","OA_type":"closed access","date_updated":"2026-08-12T13:59:36Z","abstract":[{"text":"Projections of the future carbon and water cycles rely on knowledge on how forests will respond to rising atmospheric CO2. Experiments with elevated CO2 are logistically challenging and carbon pools and fluxes are difficult to measure and upscale due to their spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Therefore, it is important to combine the knowledge derived from experimental results with modeling. Here, we systematically compare data from a free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment in a mature deciduous forest in Switzerland with realizations from an ecohydrological model (Tethys–Chloris). We test whether a mechanistic ecohydrological model is able to simulate physiological plant responses under ambient and elevated CO2 concentration. We overcome measurement limitations by quantifying differences in response to ambient and elevated CO2 over ten years. The reliability of model realizations is demonstrated by comparing simulations with field observations of stomatal conductance, sap flow, leaf and fruit litter, and stem growth. The model successfully captures the observed CO2-induced difference in stomatal conductance and transpiration and its sensitivity to atmospheric demand, as well as qualitative changes in soil moisture. The simulated differences between CO2 scenarios generally fall within the uncertainty of experimental observations, both for the carbon and water balance. Simulated total evapotranspiration is 2.8% (18 mm yr−1) lower and soil moisture 1.2% higher in the CO2-enriched scenario. Latent and sensible heat are modified by ca. 1 W m−2. Net primary production is simulated to increase by 19.8% and allocation to stem growth is 53 gC yr−1 m−2 higher in the elevated CO2 scenario, which represents the limit of the detection threshold of the experiment. Results show that while ecohydrological models can be used to reliably simulate multi-year energy, water, and carbon fluxes at the stand level, testing carbon allocation remains critical with current accuracy of field measurements. Uncertainties due to the simplified carbon allocation scheme are shown to be more significant for carbon than for energy and water fluxes. Generally, we conclude that for this type of forest, differences in annual energy and water fluxes induced by elevated CO2 are likely to be less than 10%.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","oa_version":"None","status":"public","_id":"22476","publisher":"Elsevier","year":"2013","citation":{"chicago":"Fatichi, Simone, and Sebastian Leuzinger. “Reconciling Observations with Modeling: The Fate of Water and Carbon Allocation in a Mature Deciduous Forest Exposed to Elevated CO2.” <i>Agricultural and Forest Meteorology</i>.
