“…Additionally, the KCS database contains more than 15 million datapoints on water chemistry, and even more data from long‐term, high‐resolution timeseries on physical parameters. The KCS database builds on a concept we call FAIR & Square (Laudon & Taberman, 2016), which is guided by Data FAIR port requirements (https://www.datafairport.org/). While FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, “Square” symbolizes the importance of acknowledging the original data producer.…”

Improving our ability to detect changes in terrestrial and aquatic systems is a grand challenge in the environmental sciences. In a world experiencing increasingly rapid rates of climate change and ecosystem transformation, our ability to understand and predict how, when, where, and why changes occur is essential for adapting and mitigating human behaviours. In this context, long-term field research infrastructures have a fundamentally important role to play. For northern boreal landscapes, the Krycklan Catchment Study (KCS) has supported monitoring and research aimed at revealing these changes since it was initiated in 1980. Early studies focused on forest regeneration and microclimatic conditions, nutrient balances and forest hydrology, which included monitoring climate variables, water balance components, and stream water chemistry. The research infrastructure has expanded over the years to encompass a 6790 ha catchment, which currently includes 11 gauged streams, ca. 1000 soil lysimeters, 150 groundwater wells, >500 permanent forest inventory plots, and a 150 m tall tower (a combined ecosystem-atmosphere station of the ICOS, Integrated Carbon Observation System) for measurements of atmospheric gas concentrations and biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water, and energy. In addition, the KCS has also been the focus of numerous high resolution multi-spectral LiDAR measurements and large scale experiments. This large collection of equipment and data generation supports a range of disciplinary studies, but more importantly fosters multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary research opportunities. The KCS attracts a broad collection of scientists, including biogeochemists, ecologists, foresters, geologists, hydrologists, limnologists, soil scientists, and social scientists, all of whom bring their knowledge and experience to the site.

“…By providing an open-access research infrastructure and database, our ambition is to contribute to the scientific and societal needs of future generations at a time when the continuation of long-term research and monitoring programs is under serious threat. By providing freely available hydrology and water chemistry data, and a fully accessible research infrastructure, 97 we hope that the KCS will continue to allow empiricists and modelers to combine efforts toward advancing the field of catchment science.…”

Catchment science plays a critical role in the protection of water resources in the face of ongoing changes in climate, long‐range transport of air pollutants, and land use. Addressing these challenges, however, requires improved understanding of how, when, and where changes in water quantity and quality occur within river networks. To reach these goals, we must recognize how different catchment features are organized to regulate surface chemistry at multiple scales, from processes controlling headwaters, to the downstream mixing of water from multiple landscape sources and deep aquifers. Here we synthesize 30‐years of hydrological and biogeochemical research from the Krycklan catchment study (KCS) in northern Sweden to demonstrate the benefits of coupling long‐term monitoring with multi‐scale research to advance our understanding of catchment functioning across space and time. We show that the regulation of hydrological and biogeochemical patterns in the KCS can be decomposed into four, hierarchically structured landscape features that include: (1) transmissivity and reactivity of dominant source layers within riparian soils, (2) spatial arrangement of groundwater input zones that govern water and solute fluxes at reach‐ to segment‐scales, (3) landscape scale heterogeneity (forests, mires, and lakes) that generates unique biogeochemical signals downstream, and (4) broad‐scale mixing of surface streams with deep groundwater contributions. While this set of features are perhaps specific to the study region, analogous hierarchical controls are likely to be widespread. Resolving these scale dependent processes is important for predicting how, when, and where different environmental changes may influence patterns of surface water chemistry within river networks.

“…The intention behind initiating this special issue jointly in HESS and ESSD was to emphasise the role of open data for progress in hydrological research. Reproducibility is seen as one of the basic principles of good scientific practice and requires access to the data and code that were used to produce the respective findings (Hutton et al, 2016;Laudon and Taberman, 2016). For data management and stewardship, widely accepted rules have been defined in the FAIR principles: findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (Wilkinson et al, 2016).…”

“…Uncountable observations, experiments and models have advanced our understanding of the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system. Landscape organisation appearing as self-similar patterns (Rodriguez-Iturbe and Rinaldo, 1997), structured flow paths (Flury et al, 1994;Nimmo, 2016), thermodynamic optimality (Kleidon and Schymanski, 2008;Phillips, 2016) and other forms has always driven approaches to derive the relationship between the dominating hydrological and biogeochemical processes (Lin, 2010;Laudon and Sponseller, 2018) and identifiable landscape signatures (Gharari et al, 2011). Likewise, we can find a plethora of concepts about hydrological functioning aiming to explain landscape organisation based on self-reinforcing patterns out of smaller-scale heterogeneity (Hohenbrink and Lischeid, 2015;Berkowitz and Zehe, 2020), the transition of their impact through scales (Vogel and Roth, 1998) and their dynamic similarity (Loritz et al, 2018).…”

Abstract. The link between landscape properties and hydrological functioning is the very foundation of hydrological sciences. The fundamental perception that landscape organisation and its hydrological and biogeochemical processes co-develop is often discussed. However, different landscape characteristics and hydrological processes interact in complex ways. Hence, the causal links between both are usually not directly deducible from our observations. So far no common concepts have been established to connect observations, properties and functions at and between different scales. This special issue hosts a broad set of original studies indicating the current state and progress in our understanding of different facets of dynamic hydrological systems across various scales. It is organised as a joint special issue in HESS and ESSD, with the purpose of providing the scientific insights in combination with the underlying data sets and study design. While the individual studies contribute to distinct aspects of the link between landscape characteristics and hydrological functioning, it remained difficult to compile their specific findings to more general conclusions. In this preface, we summarise the contributions. In the search for ways to synthesise these individual studies to the overall topic of linking landscape organisation and hydrological functioning, we suggest four major points how this process could be facilitated in the future: (i) formulating clear and testable research hypotheses, (ii) establishing appropriate sampling designs to test these hypotheses, (iii) fully providing the data and code, and (iv) clarifying and communicating scales of observations and concepts as well as scale transfers.
