Thus, no evidence was found of large scale (basin-wide) increases in trace-metal leaching or translocation as a result of the extensive deforestation and agricultural land-use that has been practiced in the Amazonian highland jungle over more than 100 a.
Finally, such coupled hydrologic and hydrodynamic modelling proves to be an important tool for integrated evaluation of hydrological processes in such poorly gauged, large scale basins.
The Mississippi River basin (MRB) is considered as a representative large-scale basin, and daily streamflow from a network of 1663 stations are analyzed.
The lowest reaches of a large-scale basin could be the discharge area of local, intermediate and regional groundwater flow systems with different travel distances and travel times.
During the early Younger Dryas the large-scale basin-upland morphology caused localised divergent cooling impacts and vegetation changes, which generated reach-scale variable sediment transport system states in the Wetter valley.
It still cannot meet the requirements of study carried out on large-scale basins.
This study is critical to understand a series of periodically changing hydrogeological phenomena in large-scale basins.
In China, the ecosystem service values of large-scale basins all have been evaluated (Liu et al. 2006; Wu et al. 2009; Hou et al. 2013; Bai et al. 2011; Liu et al. 2014).
The mean annual weaning weight of pups declined from 1975 to the late 1990s, a period characterized by a large-scale, basin-wide warm decadal regime that included multiple strong or long-duration El Niños; and increased with a return to a cool decadal regime from about 1999 to 2004.
The Northern Dvina's main cargo is timber, which is cut on a large scale throughout the basin and rafted to sawmilling centres along the river's banks.
At a large scale (country or river basin) the catch may not have declined, but from the perspective of a fisherman, it certainly had.
