Modelagem da interceptação na Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã, no Leste da Amazônia [PDF]
, 2008 The present work was carried out in the Ferreira Penna Scientific Station, at the Caxiuanã National Forest in Melgaço, Pará, Brazil (01º 42’ 30” S; 51º 31’ 45” W; 60 m of altitude) in the Eastern Amazonia.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Revisiting the contribution of transpiration to global terrestrial evapotranspiration [PDF]
, 2017 Even though knowing the contributions of transpiration (T), soil and open water evaporation (E), and interception (I) to terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET=T+E+I) is crucial for understanding the hydrological cycle and its connection to ecological ...

Rainfall interception in an urban environment
, 2010 Vegetation interception loss plays an important role in controlling the water balance of a watershed, especially where urban development has taken place. The aim of this study is to document the importance of urban trees as a form of ‘green infrastructure’ to reduce stormwater runoff and rainwater intensity, and cause a delay in precipitation reaching ...

Rainfall interception and drop size--development and calibration of the two-layer stochastic interception model [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 1996 This paper reviews the development of the stochastic interception model from the original, single-layer, drop-size-dependent model to the two-layer model that recognizes that vegetation canopies are wetted through both the primary impact of raindrops to the top layer of the canopy and secondary impacts from drops falling from the vegetation to lower ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the use of multitemporal vegetation cover analysis as a tool to assess the ecological effectiveness of judicial decisions that recognize the rights of nature, using Colombia's 2016 T‐622 decision on the Atrato River as a case study.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

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 ...
