Explore the Langbein Lecture delivered by Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe at the 2000 AGU Spring Meeting, focusing on the future of hydrologic sciences and self-organization in ecohydrology. Delve into key topics including soil moisture balance equations, annual precipitation patterns, water deficit modeling, and the crucial roles of vegetation, climate, and plant rooting depth. Examine a case study of the Shortgrass Steppe in Colorado and gain insights into the methodologies used in ecohydrology research. Despite potential rendering issues due to the age of the original file, this 56-minute presentation offers valuable knowledge for those interested in the intersection of hydrology and ecology.
