TL;DRAbstract

The major processes driving the hydrological cycle, their effects on the fate of pollutants and thus on the evolution of ecosystems are summarized and the links between problems of ecohydrological interest, features of hydrological patterns and catchment processes are discussed. In addition, the runoff generation mechanisms and modelling perspectives are also covered. Finally, the role of catchment features in transport, storage and buffering processes and to interpret their links to ecohydrological problem-solving is explored.
