The Umbrella Type Canopy Increases Tolerance to Abiotic Stress-Leaf Microenvironment Temperature and Tropospheric Ozone in ‘Chambourcin’

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
This study reports on the effect of the vertical shoot type canopy (VST) and umbrella type canopy (UT) on the fruit region microenvironment, light interception, tropospheric ozone, and berry quality of vertical trellis ‘Chambourcin’.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

A Stochastic Simulation Method for Estimating Vegetation Interception Capacity Based on Mechanical‐Geometric Analysis

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Vegetation interception is a vital ecohydrological process, and the interception capacity is a key parameter to many classical interception models. However, current canopy interception capacity estimation methods largely depend on measured interception ...

Canopy architecture and its effect on light interception in southern highbush blueberry

open access: yesScientia Horticulturae
Canopy architecture traits have a direct effect on photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception. Although limitations in PAR interception have been linked to reduced yields, the relationship between specific canopy architecture traits and light

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Use of 3D modeling to refine predictions of canopy light utilization: A comparative study on canopy photosynthesis models with different dimensions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Canopy photosynthesis integrates leaf functional and structural traits in space and time and correlates positively with yield formation. Many models with different levels of architectural details ranging from zero-dimensional (0D) to three-dimensional ...

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

Impact of Forest Canopy Closure on Snow Processes in the Changbai Mountains, Northeast China

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Forest canopy closure affects snow processes by changing the redistribution of snowfall, snow interception, accumulation, sublimation, and melt. However, how the forest closure impacts snow processes at different periods has not been well explored.
