Divergent responses of forest canopy height to environmental conditions across China
Ecological IndicatorsAs major components of terrestrial ecosystems, forest ecosystems play an important role in sequestering carbon and hence mitigating climate change. Canopy height is a crucial factor characterizing the structure and function of forest ecosystems, yet the ...

Use spectral derivatives for estimating canopy water content [PDF]
, 2010 Hyperspectral remote sensing has demonstrated great potential for accurate retrieval of canopy water content (CWC). This CWC is defined by the product of the leaf equivalent water thickness (EWT) and the leaf area index (LAI).

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Structural Controls on Forest Evapotranspiration from Canopy Height
Forest canopy height is a fundamental control on aerodynamic conductance and surface energy partitioning, but its influence on evapotranspiration (ET) at a global scale remains under-investigated.

Canopy Shear Layer Perturbation by Localized Height Heterogeneity
, 2023 The effects of a local heterogeneity on the turbulent flow over an otherwise homogenous canopy were investigated. Specifically, the effects of a local increase in canopy height were studied for a canopy resembling aquatic vegetation; this local height ...

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
