The response of the water cycle to landscape configuration and composition in two Chilean basins by Marieta Hernández-Sosa, Mauricio Aguayo, Jorge Hurtado, Ovidio Llompart

“…Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) and partial least squares (PLSR) analysis were used to determine how landscape patterns influence hydrological processes and streamflow behavior. The most significant negative correlations occur in the wet season between aggregation and shape metrics on crop soils and evapotranspiration, infiltration, and baseflow regime behavior. …”
