Conforto térmico de bovinos da raça nelore a pasto sob diferentes condições de sombreamento e a pleno sol Thermal comfort of nelore bovine in pasture under several lighting conditions

open access: yesEngenharia Agrícola, 2009
Principalmente em regiões de clima quente, a produção bovina sob condições de pasto pode ser melhorada com o uso de sombra natural para minimizar o estresse por calor. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito do estresse térmico por

Macroevolutionary processes in turtles (Testudines): a view from biomic specialization and historical climatic changes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The resource-use hypothesis proposed by Elisabeth S. Vrba suggests that lineages display varying tendencies toward generalism or specialization in biome occupancy, with a tendency towards the accumulation of specialists due to their higher rate of ...

A new instrument for stable isotope measurements of 13C and 18O in CO2 – instrument performance and ecological application of the Delta Ray IRIS analyzer [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017
We used the recently developed commercially available Delta Ray isotope ratio infrared spectrometer (IRIS) to continuously measure the CO2 concentration c and its isotopic composition δ13C and δ18O in a managed beech forest in central Germany.

Tracking Water Dynamics of a Temperate Forest Under Drought and Non‐Drought Conditions Using Active and Passive Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Water status, water dynamics, and ecohydrological resilience of a protected German beech forest during the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought are assessed using over six years of multi‐frequency remote sensing data, integrating active, passive, and optical sensors with varying canopy penetration depths, highlighting the importance of monitoring ...

Continuous Stem Water Potential Measurements With Microtensiometry Reveal Species Identity and Soil Matric Potential Control of Stem Water Potential in Temperate Forests

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water potential gradients govern water fluxes, and plants respond with species‐specific hydraulic traits that influence ecosystem function. While understanding these traits is key to predicting vegetation responses to climate change, traditional methods like the pressure chamber limit temporal resolution and continuity.

Birch Transpiration Is Not the Main Reason for Insufficient Water Levels in a Rewetted Bog

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural bogs have high water level (WL) that prevents peat decomposition and promotes bog‐specific vegetation. Especially in rewetted bogs, increasing tree encroachment is observed in combination with low WL. Simultaneously, a general shift in vegetation and microform distribution is visible.

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 747-761, April 2026.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...
