Elevational Habitat Associations of Tree Species and Deadwood in Ephemeral Streams of the Namib Desert. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe research presents an in‐depth spatial study of three tree species that grow along ephemeral streams in the arid and hyper‐arid western part of Namibia. The trees form a linear oasis in major streams like the Kuiseb River and provide important shelter and habitat for a variety of plant and animal species. ABSTRACT In arid and hyper‐arid regions with

De-Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees. [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Effect of forest on sediment yield in North China
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2013 Forest-sediment relationship is a hot and important issue in Ecohydrology studies. China has implemented many large-scale reforestation programmes in the last decades to address the growing soil erosion and desertification.

Pattern and structure of microtopography implies autogenic origins in forested wetlands [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Wetland microtopography is a visually striking feature, but also critically influences biogeochemical processes at both the scale of its observation (10−2–102 m2) and at aggregate scales (102–104 m2).
