Fog drip maintains dry season ecological function in a California coastal pine forest

Ecosphere, 2016
Fog drip is recognized as an important source of water for many ecosystems that often harbor a disproportionate fraction of endemic species. Characterizing and quantifying the ecological importance of fog drip in these ecosystems requires a range of ...

Monitoring ecohydrological process and forest dynamics in a tropical peatland

, 2022
Tiivistelmä Trooppisten turvemaiden ojitusten ympäristövaikutukset lisäävät tarvetta ekosysteemien suojelun ja soiden ennallistamisen lisäämistä. Ymmärrys trooppisten turvemaiden prosesseista on kuitenkin vielä liian vähäistä tätä toimintaa tukemaan. Tutkimuksessa suoritettiin ympäristön tilan seurantaa Indonesiassa Padang Islandin tutkimuskohteella ...

Estimating regional losses of soil water due to the conversion of agricultural land to forest in China's Loess Plateau

, 2017
Afforestation on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) has been extensively implemented by the central government over the past decades to control soil erosion. The conversion of agricultural land to forest, however, has led to decreases in soil-water storage (
