Abstract
This volume is a synthesis of the research undertaken by the Biospheric Aspects of the Hydrological Cycle (BAHC) Core Project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) since its inception in 1990. Before reading about the wealth of new insights that are presented in this volume, it is important to return to the origins of BAHC and our level of understanding of global change and the nature of the Earth system at that time.
