Monitoring long-term trends in precipitation phase over a highly instrumented semiarid experimental watershed in the Great Basin, USA
Spatial trends in the elevational rain/snow transition of a snow-dominated watershed are quantified over the last 40 years and compared against streamflow timing and magnitude.
Seasonal origin of water in a mountain grassland: effects of the 2022 European drought
Stable water isotopes are used to infer the seasonal origin of water used by plants in a mountain environment. Interannual variations of such seasonal origin are investigated.
