Study on Function of Crown Canopy Intercepting Rainfall in the Ziwuling Region
Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 1993 Rainfall under forest from April to October,crown canopy interception and relation be- tween crown canopy interception and rainfall index in the non-forest have been analysed in this paper,The results have shown that rainfall under forest is positive ...

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.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest fires have escalated alarmingly, now consuming more than double the tree cover compared to two decades ago, signaling a growing and urgent environmental crisis. This study addresses the ever increasing global concern of forest fires, focusing on sustainable economic recovery while minimizing the ecological footprint amid mounting ...

Identifying Canopy Snow in Subalpine Forests: A Comparative Study of Methods
Water Resources ResearchThe interception of snow by the canopy is an important process in the water and energy balance in cold‐region coniferous forests. Direct measurements of canopy snow interception are difficult at scales larger than individual trees, requiring indirect ...

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

The effect of vegetation canopy on canopy storage capacity with different rainfall intensity
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Canopy Interception is one of the vital component in hydrological cycle and underestimating the interception process can significantly affect the water balance.

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests
Oikos, EarlyView.The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

Oikos, EarlyView.Phenology plays a central role in regulating energy flow and nutrient cycling, yet remains insufficiently integrated into biodiversity–ecosystem functioning frameworks. This gap is especially relevant in strongly seasonal systems, where community‐wide synchrony in leaf litterfall may arise from either temporal niche differentiation among species or ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Oikos, EarlyView.Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.
