Global forest cover loss tipping points leading to changing hydrologic responses

This dataset describes the methods used to develop the results for study entitled: Global forest cover loss tipping points leading to changing hydrologic responses.

EVENTS_List_45.docx is a table describing each deforestation event used for the study

MATLAB Script 1: Plotting Hydrologic Sensitive Area against Tree cover loss every 10 % tree cover loss for all 45 events and adjusting Richard's curve function to obtain the parameters. This script uses EXCEL SHEET: HSiaresults.xlsx

MATLAB Script 2: Computing the critical points of acceleration based on the Richards curve parameters. This script uses the parameters or results obtained in Script one.

MATLAB Script 3: Plotting the climate and water yield direction against tree cover loss. This script used EXCEL SHEET: direction.xlsx
