, 2023 Abstract The crossing of specific aridity thresholds has been shown to trigger abrupt changes in multiple functional and structural ecosystem attributes across global drylands. While we understand the consequences associated with aridity thresholds, a significant knowledge gap remains concerning the key biotic and abiotic factors that influence

Optimizing drip irrigation for eggplant crops in semi-arid zones using evolving thresholds [PDF]
Agricultural Water Management, 2016 AbstractField experiments were combined with a numerical model to optimize drip irrigation management based on soil matric potential (SMP) measurements. An experimental crop of eggplant was grown in Burkina Faso from December 2014 to March 2015 and plant response to water stress was investigated by applying four different irrigation treatments ...

Watery Existence: immaginari dell’acqua tra arte e letteratura nella poetica modernista
Between, 2011 Water has always been an element of border and threshold, both as a political frontier between nations, and in the symbolic value of transition between life and death, between the real world and beyond, between silence and narration.

Identifying threshold responses of Australian dryland rivers to future hydroclimatic change
Scientific Reports, 2020 Rivers provide crucial ecosystem services in water-stressed drylands. Australian dryland rivers are geomorphologically diverse, ranging from through-going, single channels to discontinuous, multi-channelled systems, yet we have limited understanding of ...

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2020 To understand the variations in surface water associated with changes in air temperature, precipitation, and permafrost in the Headwater Area of the Yellow River (HAYR), we studied the dynamics of alpine lakes larger than 0.01 km2 during 1986–2019 using ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Ecosystem Health and SustainabilityThe drylands on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau are extremely sensitive to climate change and grazing activities. However, there is a lack of quantitative study of the combined effects of aridity and grazing pressure, which are vital in determining the ...
