摘要

A previous study aiming to characterize the water dynamics of a cloud forest in the Garajonay National Park (La Gomera) fromnmeasurements taken in a plot located in the upper part of a selected watershed within the park is here commented. Reportednmagnitudes of hydrological variables and conclusions based on them are in disagreement with those of numerous studies carriednout previously at the same site. Large data dispersion and inapplicability of some of the hypothesis assumed are shown toninvalidate most of the results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
