In this April Ecohydrology publication, “Fuels treatment and wildfire effects on runoff from Sierra Nevada mixed‐conifer forests” – RHESSys, constrained with spatially distributed field measurements, was used to assess the impacts of forest‐fuel treatments and wildfire on hydrologic fluxes in two Sierra Nevada firesheds. Saksa, P.C., Bales, R.C., Tague, C.L., Battles, J.J., Tobin, B.W., Conklin, M.H. (2019)Continue reading “New Pub! Impacts of forest‐fuel treatments and wildfire on hydrologic fluxes in the Sierra Nevada”

New Pub! Vertical processes and the nitrate concentration–discharge relationships in a semi‐arid watershed
In this new publication “Sensitivity of nitrate concentration‐discharge patterns to soil nitrate distribution and drainage properties in the vertical dimension“, the authors argue that vertical ‘variable source area’ (VSA) processes may be as important as lateral VSA in determining concentration-discharge relationships in a semi‐arid watershed. Chen, X., Tague, C.L., Melack, J.M., Keller, A.A. (2020) SensitivityContinue reading “New Pub! Vertical processes and the nitrate concentration–discharge relationships in a semi‐arid watershed”
Tague goes back to her roots!
Professor Naomi Tague is back where it all began – where she got her undergraduate engineering degree at the University of Waterloo – today to present “Animating green stuff in hydrologic models: where we are and what is next” as part of the Water Institute‘s WaterTalks lecture series.
New publication on Urban Vegetation impact from Drought
This study looks at the response and potential impacts of drought on urban vegetation, and the ecosystem services it provides to cities – where >50% of the worlds populations resides. Miller, D.L., Alonzo, M., Roberts, D.A., Tague, C.L., McFadden, J.P. (2020) Drought response of urban trees and turfgrass using airborne imaging spectroscopy, Remote Sensing ofContinue reading “New publication on Urban Vegetation impact from Drought”
New Publication on implications of Active/Passive management on abandoned cropland
In this study, the RHESSys model is used to study the post response (including potential climate change scenarios) of hydrologic and vegetation dynamics to an Active Management strategy (i.e. shrub clearing as a result of natural revegetation) in an abandoned cropland catchment of the Central Spanish Pyrenees. Khorchani, M., Nadal-Romero, E., Tague, C., Lasanta, T.,Continue reading “New Publication on implications of Active/Passive management on abandoned cropland”
New Publication looks at perspective on research directions in ecohydrology
In this new publication, the authors synthesis reveals an ecohydrology community that is increasingly interdisciplinary, engaged in society‐relevant problems, and that uses new technologies and modelling approaches to accomplish these goals.

Louis Graup Lightning Talk
Tague Team Lab member and PhD student Louis Graup presented “Fire and Water: a Spatial Connection” as part of the 2020 UCSB Center for Spatial Studies Spatial Lightning Talks last week. Bringing together speakers from across the UCSB campus and the local community, this annual series of 3-minute lightning talks is designed to enlighten participantsContinue reading “Louis Graup Lightning Talk”
Naomi Tague gives Moore Lecture
Earlier this month, Naomi Tague presented “Animating green stuff in Hydrologic models: Where we are and what is next” as part of the University of Virginia’s Environmental Sciences Department Moore lecture series hosted by Larry Band. Abstract: Early hydrologic models represented vegetation as a simple parameter that influenced interception and the transpiration of soil waterContinue reading “Naomi Tague gives Moore Lecture”

New publications on modeling the effects of fire on vegetation
In this new publication in Ecological Modelling, the authors address the relationship between ecohydrology and wildfire and the representation of fire effects on vegetation carbon in ecohydrologic models, which requires a fully coupled modeling approach where wildfire and its effects co-evolve with ecohydrologic processes. Here they present the integration of a fire-effects model that is coupledContinue reading “New publications on modeling the effects of fire on vegetation”
