Influence of total interception on the surface runoff in a decline mountain spruce forest

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
In the last decade, dieback has affected not only non-native monoculture spruce forests at lower altitudes but also mountain spruce forests. For this reason, measurements of precipitation, throughfall, and surface runoff were carried out in the dead and ...

The Montado agroforestry system microclimatic specificity in the context of global change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The effects of oak trees on microclimatic parameters in Quercus rotundifolia Lam. woodland in the Alentejo, Southern Portugal, are reported. Results show that oak tree create a marked differentiation in the grass matrix, between open and undercanopy ...

Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Data privacy model using blockchain reinforcement federated learning approach for scalable internet of medical things

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has typical advancements in the healthcare sector with rapid potential proof for decentralised communication systems that have been applied for collecting and monitoring COVID‐19 patient data. Machine Learning algorithms typically use the risk score of each patient based on risk factors, which could help ...

Meta-modeling light interception in crop : weed canopies

open access: yes, 2016
Introduction Weeds are a major pest of crop production but are important for biological diversity. In order to design cropping systems that reconcile crop production and biodiversity we need tools that allow us to test multiple cropping systems, such as FLORSYS (Colbach et al., 2014).

New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...
