                         understanding of the hydrological function and nutrient dynamics 
                         of Amazonian forest derived from work in microcatchments and how 
                         these processes are affected by land use and land cover changes, 
                         mainly the conversion offorest to pasture. Our conclusions are 
                         based on field observations in catchments located in different 
                         regions ofAmazonia. This chapter is divided into sections that 
                         provide (I) a general overview of small catchment research in LBA 
                         and then address (2) mnoff and water budgets, (3) the influences 
                         of soil, vegetation, and riparian zones on stream chemistty and 
                         element budgets, and (4) the potential influence of catchment 
                         scale on the hydrological and biogeochemical processes thafcontrol 
                         water and element budgets. The first section provides a background 
                         on the principle sites where microcatchments have been studied as 
                         part of LBA and the questions that have driven ,'esearch at these 
                         sites. The second section reviews intensive studies of runoff, 
                         streamflow, and catchment water balance and how these processes 
                         are altered by clellring of tropical forest for pasture. The third 
                         section synthesizes what is known a~out the processes that control 
                         the concentrations and expOli of materials that reach streams via 
                         different hydrological flow paths inAmazonian forest and how these 
                         processes and flow paths are altered by deforestation and land use 
                         change. The fOUlih section summarizes what we know about how 
                         hydrological and biogeochemical processes change with scale and 
                         how this understanding can be used to both predict catchment 
                         response to land use change and manage Amazonian landscapes to 
                         maintain valuable hydrological and biogeochemical functions.",
