摘要：Ecosystems and hydrological cycle interactions have long been a central topic in hydrology and ecosystem research. Abiotic landscape features and land cover affct the size and course of total water runoff and understanding the pro cesses involved provides the opportunity to inflence surface runof behaviour without technical landscape interven- tion. Changes in land use can signifiantly effct watershed hydrology; and here we employed a distributed parameter hydrology model to evaluate the effct of landscape structure on water balance components and the spatial variability of hydrological processes in the 65 km2, 79.6 % forest-covered Vydranka watershed in eastern Slovakia. Average interception under current land use accounted for 11 % of total precipitation during the 2001–2013 calibration period. Although 83 % of total precipitation infitrated the unsaturated soil zone, approximately one third of this amount percolated into the ground water aquifer and the remaining 17 % was shared by 14 % interflw and 4 % surface runoff The largest proportion of the precipitation contributed to the base flw at 23 %. In addition to assessing the hydrological balance of the watershed, we also determined the following simulation outputs: the time series of individual components of the hydrological balance and runoff and map outputs delineating spatial watershed distribution.
