abstract = {In recent years, the critical zone (CZ) of catchments
across the Mediterranean region has been influenced by rapid
changes in both climate seasonality and land use–land
cover. Rural ecosystems in southern Europe are experiencing
prolonged droughts, seriously compromising water resource
availability and crop yields while increasing the risk of
wildfire occurrence. Rainy seasons are likely to be
characterized by intense storms that trigger floods,
resulting in increasing damage severity. The negative
effects of anthropogenic disturbance on hydrological
ecosystem services can be tempered by demand-side adaptation
options and appropriate investments to ensure water supply
under drought conditions. To shed light on some of the
scientific challenges related to these issues, a critical
zone observatory (CZO) has been established in the Alento
River catchment. Although sampling campaigns and monitoring
investigations have been performed in this area for >25 yr,
a more systematic research program was recently started to
take comprehensive measurements in representative
subcatchments of the study area. These sites are
instrumented with advanced ground-based sensor network
platforms that provide hydro-meteorological variables and
fluxes in the groundwater–soil–vegetation–atmosphere
system. Hydrological models of different complexity exploit
the dense information gathered to assess the impact of land
use and climate changes on key functions and services of the
CZO in the Alento River catchment.},
