Trait‐associated pathway links plant diversity to litterfall phenology in a seasonally dry tropical forest

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 ...

Perbandingan Nilai Intersepsi Pohon Mahoni (Swietania mahagoni) dan Pohon Pinus (Casuarina cunninghamia)

Rona Teknik Pertanian, 2012
Comparation of Interception Loss on Mahoni (Swietania mahagoni) and Pinus (Casuarina cunninghamia) ABSTRACT. Interception of rain is the retention of rainwater on surface vegetation before it evaporates back into the atmosphere. Research relating to the

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

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.

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

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.

Influence of interannual rainfall variability on the interception process in a continental mediterranean climate

Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, 2018
The interception of rainfall by vegetation greatly affects the hydrology of a basin. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of annual rainfall variability on the interception in isolated individuals of two of the most common types of ...

Snow Interception Relationships With Meteorology and Canopy Density

Hydrological Processes
ABSTRACTSnow accumulation models differ in their representation of snow interception and ablation processes, and their applicability across diverse climates and forest types remains uncertain. Existing parameterisations of initial snow interception before unloading include inherently coupled canopy snow accumulation and ablation processes.

On Canopy Rainfall Interception Modeling in a Eucalyptus Plantation

Forests
The interaction between the forest canopy and precipitation is a fundamental process for understanding the hydrological cycle in forests. Physical models have been applied to estimate canopy water interception, and their efficiency has been tested based on metrics used to assess hydrological models.

Canopy Light Interception of a Conventional and an Erect Leafed Sorghum

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2015
Two sorghum lines, an erect leafed mutant sorghum and the wild type from which the mutant was generated, were field grown in rectilinear arrays at low (10 plants m-2) and high (23 plants m-2) population densities. Canopy light interception, biomass accretion and yield were measured.

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.
