First, the hierarchical adaptive smoothing decomposer stabilizes long-term patterns while preserving short-term details. Second, a multi-period phase-aligned attention module achieves cross-period synchronization. Third, the phase-shift correction attention module enhances robustness to short-term disturbances. Experiments on six marine ranching datasets from diverse geographical and climatic regions demonstrate that MAformer significantly outperforms seven state-of-the-art baseline models. For instance, it achieves an average reduction of 9.59% in MAE and 7.96% in RMSE, alongside improvements of 8.39% in <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>R</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></math></span> and 6.25% in KGE.

The data modules automate preparation of diverse datasets, including open-access and proprietary resources. Hydromodel supports process-based model calibration and evaluation, while torchhydro enables neural network integration for differentiable models. HydroDHM coordinates these components through a unified interface for configuring and executing end-to-end modeling pipelines. Case studies in CAMELS basins demonstrate that differentiable models achieve comparable streamflow simulation performance to traditional approaches.

Our study assessed wildfire severity impacts on hydrology using a modified calibration method for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. Calibration incorporated evapotranspiration and leaf area index to represent vegetation loss and hydrologic impacts. We also integrated a wildfire module to simulate fire effects on soil and vegetation parameters. This improved modeling approach effectively captured post-fire hydrologic behavior, especially increased high streamflows and reduced evapotranspiration, with greater changes linked to higher burn severity. These findings emphasize the importance of considering fire severity in hydrologic modeling, aiding proactive management and mitigation strategies to protect water supply and enhance ecosystem resilience in wildfire-prone regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":310,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Modelling & Software","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 106896"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146047988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
