Description:Forested catchments in Central Panama can produce more base flow during the dry season compared to pasture catchments —the so-called “forest sponge effect. ”During rainfall events, peak storm runoff rates and storm runoff coef ficients can be lower for forested catchments than pasture catchments, even when they have similar topographic characteristics, underlying geology, and soil texture. The internal mechanism of these differences in hydrological response due to land use is yet to be fully understood. A distributed model explicitly simulating preferential flow paths (PFPs), which is referred to as “PFPMod, ”is used to explain the hydrological response caused by land use using data from three catchments with distinct
