Site Description
Paired experimental watersheds in sub-humid tropical climate, plus nested watersheds, located in South India in the Kabini watershed. The experimental watersheds are: (1) Mule Hole (semi-deciduous dry forest), monitored since 2003, 4.3 km2; (2) Maddur (cultivated), monitored since 2005, 7.1 km2; (3) Berambadi (higher order of/including Maddur watershed), monitored since 2010, 80km2; for evaluating the influence of agriculture on water and biogeochemical cycle in sub-humid tropics, and the effect of the monsoon variability on these cycles
