“…Hydrological models have been utilized at varying spatial scales to model the hydrology of agricultural areas of cold-climate countries such as Finland (Grizzetti et al, 2003;Knisel and Turtola, 2000), Russia (Schierhorn et al, 2014a, b), and Canada (Yang et al, 2014(Yang et al, , 2009). Overall, little research addressing specificities of agriculture in cold-region hydrology is available in the literature, although this activity is quite relevant in northern latitude regions such as the northern Great Plains (North America; Desaulniers and Gritzner, 2006;Wishart, 2004;Sharp, 1952;Li et al, 2010), northwestern Europe (Scandinavia; Parry et al, 1988), and northern Asia (Wang et al, 2002;Blanke et al, 2007). Important challenges remain in modelling the hydrology of northern latitude agricultural watersheds, such as integrated modelling of cropping systems and hydrology, representation of processes across spatial scales, and enhanced hydrologic connectivity.…”
