## Abstract Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and lower rainfall in Mediterranean regions; however, there is a great degree of uncertainty as to the amount of change. This limits the prediction capacity of models to quantify impacts on water resources, vegetation productivity and

## Abstract Increased tourist activity and recreational use of wilderness and other protected areas has endangered zones of high environmental value. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of trampling intensity (low, high use trails and untrampled trails) and distance from the trails (on
There is increasing debate these days on climate change and its possible consequences. Much of this debate has focused in the context of surface water systems. In many arid areas of the world, rainfall is scarce and so is surface runo. These areas rely heavily on groundwater. The consequences of cli
Evaporation losses from four water catchment areas under dierent land uses and climatic conditions were calculated using formulations developed from small plot studies. These formulations, dependent on rainfall inputs, potential evaporation and air temperature, were extrapolated to the catchment sca
The combined inΒ―uence of increased temperatures and changed precipitation on the seasonal snow cover and runo is evaluated for the Upper Rhine Basin at Felsberg (3250 km 2 , 560Β±3614 m a.s.l.). The runo regime reΒ―ects the snow accumulation in the winter half-year and snowmelt in the summer half-year
