This paper aims at a definition of the domain of ecohydrology, a relatively new discipline borne out of an intrusion-as advertised by this Topical Collection of the Rendiconti Lincei-of hydrology and geomorphology into ecology (or vice-versa, depending on the reader's background). The study of hydrologic controls on the biota proves, in our view, significantly broader than envisioned by its original focus that was centered on the critical zone where much of the action of soil, climate and vegetation interactions takes place. In this review of related topics and contributions, we propose a reasoned broadening of perspective, in particular by firmly centering ecohydrology on the fluvial catchment as its fundamental control volume. A substantial unity of materials and methods suggests that our advocacy may be considered legitimate.
本文旨在对生态水文学领域进行定义，生态水文学是一门相对较新的学科，正如《林琴科学院学报》本专题文集所宣称的那样，它是由水文学和地貌学侵入生态学（或者反之，这取决于读者的背景）而产生的。在我们看来，对生物群的水文控制研究比其最初聚焦于关键带（土壤、气候和植被相互作用的许多活动都发生在该区域）所设想的要广泛得多。在对相关主题和贡献的综述中，我们提出了一种合理的视角拓展，特别是通过将生态水文学牢固地以河流集水区作为其基本控制单元为核心。材料和方法的实质统一性表明我们的主张可能是合理的。
