in 1978 devised the first application of dimensional analysis for our studies.
We are also grateful to F.H. Bormann, George Hornberger, and Keith Beven
for their early advice on catchment studies, to Carles Gene for his collaboration in fieldwork and data analysis, and to Alicia Bernabe for her contribution in data analysis.
We are grateful to the former Institute of Nature Conservation (lCONA) of
the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, and to the Department of Agriculture,
Livestock and Fisheries of the Catalan government, who throughout these
years have made possible the continued use of the experimental areas at
Montseny and Prades for research. Our work was funded by the US-Spanish
Joint Committee for Science and Technology, the European Commission
DGXII, the Spanish Ministry of Education through the former CAICYT and
then the CICYT, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture through the INIA and
the former ICONA, the Catalan government through the CIRIT and IRTA,
and the government of the Valencian Autonomous Community through the
Center of Environmental Mediterranean Studies (CEAM).
