The Effect of Diffuse Light on Crops [PDF]

, 2008
Light is not evenly distributed in Dutch glass greenhouses, but this can be improved with diffuse light. Modern greenhouse coverings are able to transform most of the light entering the greenhouse into diffuse light. Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

Radiation balance components of maize hybrids grown at various plant densities. [PDF]

, 2005
Components of the energy and heat balances were examined in two maize hybrids grown at three different plant densities (40, 70 and 100 thousand plants per hectare).

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Identifying Canopy Snow in Subalpine Forests: A Comparative Study of Methods

Water Resources Research
The 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 ...

Rainfall interception and redistribution by maize farmland in central Iran

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2020
Study region: Maize farmland in Varamin, located southwest of Tehran (Iran). Study focus: The aims of this study were to: (1) monitor throughfall and stemflow during rainstorms beneath maize canopies over two growing seasons (2015, 2016); (2) evaluate ...

Light distribution on citrus canopy affects physiological parameters and fruiting pattern [PDF]

, 1992
Light interception by the orange tree canopy during flower bud differentiation and subsequent flowering and fruit setting has been monitored by continuous data recording from 48 silicon cells distributed in different canopy zones.

Integrating remote sensing datasets into ecological modelling: a Bayesian approach [PDF]

, 2008
Process-based models have been used to simulate 3-dimensional complexities of forest ecosystems and their temporal changes, but their extensive data requirement and complex parameterisation have often limited their use for practical management ...

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.
