Tropical montane cloud forest [PDF]
, 2007 Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) are covered in clouds and fog, by definition, and are abundant with mosses, lichens and epiphytes. The hydrology of these ecosystems is poorly understood due to the extreme wetness, complex topography, and ...

Soil Compaction Effects on Root-Zone Hydrology and Vegetation in Boreal Forest Clearcuts [PDF]
, 2019 Soil compaction is a common consequence of forestry traffic traversing unprotected, moist soils; it decreases porosity and affects hydraulic conductivity even in coarse-textured soils. The aim here was to study root-zone hydrology and vegetation in three

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Estimating evapotranspiration using neural networks and genetic algorithms (case study:Tabriz station) [PDF]
نشریه جغرافیا و برنامهریزی, 2019 Evaporation is one of the important factors in the hydrological cycle and is one of the determinants of energy equilibrium at ground level and water balance, which is required in various areas such as hydrology, hydrology, agriculture, forest management,

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Peatlands Under Land‐Use Change
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters carbon and N dynamics in peatlands by affecting microbial processes, enhancing greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching into adjacent waters. However, how peatland conversion for agriculture and forestry influences the fate of added N under elevated atmospheric deposition remains ...

Multimodel combination techniques for analysis of hydrological simulations: Application to distributed model intercomparison project results [PDF]
, 2006 This paper examines several multimodel combination techniques that are used for streamflow forecasting: the simple model average (SMA), the multimodel superensemble (MMSE), modified multimodel superensemble (M3SE), and the weighted average method (WAM ...
