Canopy Interception of Acid Deposition in Southern Ontario

The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2003
The impact of tree canopies on acid deposition was examined. Differences in the chemical composition of unintercepted precipitation (dustfall) and canopy was intercepted precipitation (throughfall) at 18 southern Ontario forests, collected during the summers of 1995-1996, were chemically analyzed.

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Effects of canopy characteristics and rainfall intensity on canopy water storage: A simulated rainfall study on the broadleaf and needleleaf species in subtropical China

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Jiangxi Province, China Study focus: Canopy interception is influenced by both structural and rainfall characteristics. yet, the relative contributions remain unclear due to their complex interactions. A process-based experimental study was

Measurement of radiant interception of crop canopies with the LAI-2000 plant canopy analyzer [PDF]

South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 1998
The performance of the plant canopy analyzer (PCA), model LAI-2000 (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA), has been tested in two separate field trials for 18 annual crop and pasture species.

Effectiveness of integrated shrub management and restoration techniques for rehabilitating shrub‐encroached rangelands of South Africa

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Herbaceous plant recovery following shrub clearing and reseeding in the rangelands of Peddie, Eastern Cape of South Africa. CTL, control; CO, cutting only; CR, cutting and reseeding; UPO, uprooting only; UPR, uprooting and reseeding. Abstract Background Shrub encroachment (SE) drives rangeland degradation, threatening biodiversity and forage ...

Voxel carving‐based 3D reconstruction of sorghum identifies genetic determinants of light interception efficiency

Plant Direct, 2020
Changes in canopy architecture traits have been shown to contribute to yield increases. Optimizing both light interception and light interception efficiency of agricultural crop canopies will be essential to meeting the growing food needs.

Intercepted Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Transmitted PAR under High-Density and Super High-Density Olive Orchards

Agriculture, 2021
We quantified the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception in a high-density (HD) and a super high-density (SHD) or hedgerow olive system, by measuring the PAR transmitted under the canopy along transects at increasing distance from the ...

Burrow‐Based Monitoring of Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) Reveals Importance of Core Natural Habitat in Hong Kong 中華穿山甲 (Manis pentadactyla)洞穴監測揭示香港內陸郊野地帶的重要性

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Relatively little is known about the distribution or habitat requirements of Hong Kong's population of the Chinese pangolin. Between 2018 and 2021 we searched for pangolin burrows and deployed camera traps on the burrows. We then analyzed habitat suitability at multiple scales to determine the factors that are key in driving pangolin distributions in ...

Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin
