“…Relevant publications include Lall (2005), Pittock (2002), Trenberth (1999), Benestad (2003), Beniston et al (1997), Hanson et al (2004), Svensson et al (2005), Hisdal et al (2001), and Llasat et al (2005). Similarly, there have been numerous publications on land cover change effects on floods, low flows and, more generally water yield, including Robinson et al (2003), Brown et al (2005), Andréassian (2004), Cosandey et al (2005), Bonell and Bruijnzeel (2005), Bonell (1999), Mahé et al (2005b), Archer (2003), Jones (2000), Bronstert et al (2002) and Pfister et al (2004). Rodriguez-Iturbe (2000), Peterson et al (2000), Woods (2005) and Anderson et al (2005) provide perspective on hydrological variability and other background information highly relevant to the issue of scales of climate variability and land cover change impact on flooding and low flows.…”
