Interception of the Fukushima reactor accident-derived137Cs, 134Cs and 131I by coniferous forest canopies [PDF]
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident resulted in extensive radioactive contamination of the surrounding forests. In this study, we analyzed fallout 137Cs, 134Cs, and 131I in rainwater, throughfall, and stemflow in coniferous forest ...

UPSCALING OF SOLAR INDUCED CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE FROM LEAF TO CANOPY USING THE DART MODEL AND A REALISTIC 3D FOREST SCENE [PDF]
Solar induced chlorophyll a fluorescence (SIF) has been shown to be an excellent proxy of photosynthesis at multiple scales. However, the mechanical linkages between fluorescence and photosynthesis at the leaf level cannot be directly applied at canopy ...

Vegetation hot spot signatures from synergy of DSCOVR EPIC, Terra MISR, MODIS and geostationary sensors [PDF]
It has been widely recognized that the hotspot region in Bidirectional Reflectance Factors (BRF) of vegetated surfaces represents the most information-rich directions in the directional distribution of canopy reflected radiation.

Net below canopy fluxes in Canarian laurel forest canopies
Bulk precipitation, stemflow and throughfall were collected in a Canarian laurel forest (North Tenerife), and chemically analysed to determine the net below canopy fluxes. Annual negative fluxes were found for H þ ,N O 3 ,S O 4 and Cl 2 and annual positive fluxes for Ca 2þ ,M g 2þ ,K þ ,N a þ , HCO3 ,P O 42 and DOC.

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Canopy height serves as a good indicator of forest carbon content. Remote sensing-based direct estimations of canopy height are usually based on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric data.

Impact of landuse change on ecohydrological function of canopy in Brant`s oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) forest in Ghale-gol watershed, Lorestan [PDF]
Ecohydrological functions of canopy are significantly influenced by landuse change. This study was conducted across four current landuse types within the Gale-gol watershed (Khorramabad, Lorestan), including semi-natural forest, disturbed forest, forest ...

Forest disturbance and recovery: A general review in the context of spaceborne remote sensing of impacts on aboveground biomass and canopy structure [PDF]
Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps \u3e0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2a−1. Fire, windstorms, logging, and shifting cultivation are dominant disturbances; minor contributors are land conversion, flooding, landslides, and avalanches ...
