Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Application of a Three-Dimensional Radiative Transfer Model to Retrieve the Species Composition of a Mixed Forest Stand from Canopy Reflected Radiation

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
The paper introduces a three-dimensional model to derive the spatial patterns of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) reflected and absorbed by a non-uniform forest canopy with a multi-species structure, as well as a model algorithm application to ...

Biodiversity and biomass co‐regulate urban forest drought resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Severe droughts induced by climate change present substantial challenges to urban forests. While the role that species richness plays in enhancing drought resistance in natural ecosystems has been highlighted in previous studies, its impact within urban forests remains less understood.

Evaluation of canopy photosynthetic rate in erect-panicle rice using a photosynthetic model

open access: yesPlant Production Science
Erect-panicle rice has the potential to improve rice production owing to its unique leaf canopy structure and high leaf nitrogen content (LNC). However, limiting information is available regarding its canopy photosynthesis of erect-panicle rice.

Wind erosion in semiarid landscapes: Predictive models and remote sensing methods for the influence of vegetation [PDF]

open access: yes
Wind erosion in semi-arid regions is a significant problem for which the sheltering effect of rangeland vegetation is poorly understood. Individual plants may be considered as porous roughness elements which absorb or redistribute the wind's momentum ...

Struktur Komunitas Perifiton Dibagian Hulu Sungai Cisadane, Kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak, Jawa Barat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Perifiton is one community of organisms that can adapt and thrive in the river, and relatively settled in one location. Riparian vegetation in the Mountain Halimun-Salak National Park could be expected to affect the community structure of periphyton. The
