Linking plant hydraulics and the fast–slow continuum to understand resilience to drought in tropical ecosystems

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
Tropical ecosystems have the highest levels of biodiversity, cycle more water and absorb more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem on Earth.

Root architecture and hydraulics converge for acclimation to changing water availability

open access: yesNature Plants, 2020
Because of intense transpiration and growth, the needs of plants for water can be immense. Yet water in the soil is most often heterogeneous if not scarce due to more and more frequent and intense drought episodes.

Representation of Plant Hydraulics in the Noah‐MP Land Surface Model: Model Development and Multiscale Evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
Plants are expected to face increasing water stress under future climate change. Most land surface models, including Noah‐MP, employ an idealized “big‐leaf” concept to regulate water and carbon fluxes in response to soil moisture stress through empirical

Stomatal optimization based on xylem hydraulics (SOX) improves land surface model simulation of vegetation responses to climate

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
Summary Land surface models (LSMs) typically use empirical functions to represent vegetation responses to soil drought. These functions largely neglect recent advances in plant ecophysiology that link xylem hydraulic functioning with stomatal responses ...

Neurocomputing in surface water hydrology and hydraulics: A review of two decades retrospective, current status and future prospects

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology, 2020
Neurocomputing methods have contributed significantly to the advancement of modelling techniques in surface water hydrology and hydraulics in the last couple of decades, primarily due to their vast performance advantages and usage amenity.

Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf : wood area ratios

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2019
Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses.

The effects of control methods on energy efficiency and position tracking of an electro-hydraulic excavator equipped with zonal hydraulics

open access: yesAutomation in Construction, 2019
Compared to conventional central hydraulic systems still typically used in most off-road machinery, the main advantages of zonal hydraulics are lower pressure losses, lower power demand, and thus, lower energy consumption on a system level and easy ...

Characteristics of Soil Hydraulic Conductivity in Natural Forest, Agricultural Land, and Green Open Space Area

open access: yesJournal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, 2022
Soil hydraulic conductivity is one of the important soil characteristics that determines the amount and proportion of water that will be infiltrated into the soil column and flowing as surface runoff.
