Importance of vegetation, topography and flow paths for water transit times of base flow in alpine headwater catchments
The mean transit time (MTT) of water in a catchment gives information about storage, flow paths, sources of water and thus also about retention and release of solutes in a catchment. To our knowledge there are only a few catchment studies on the influence of vegetation cover changes on base flow MTT...
