Cover Story: One determinant of runoff is excess rainfall, in which the amount of it exceed the infiltration capacity of soils. To understand runoff risks, we calculated the probability of excess rainfall events across Hawai'i via comparing probability distributions of projected rainfall frequency and the land-cover-specific infiltration capacity. We characterized soil infiltration capacity by land cover type and compared them to the frequency of large rainfall events under current and future climate scenarios. We mapped the potential risk of excess rainfall across the Hawaiian Islands. The ability to estimate the risk of potential ecologically and economically costly runoff based on land cover change is useful for managers focused on invasive species control and restoration planning in native ecosystems. View this paper
