The Canopy Structure and Its Impact on Hydrological Performance of Five Local Trees Species Grown in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2017
The hydrological performance of individual tree can be estimated by measuring the stem flow, throughfall and rainfall interception. Water distribution through tree canopy is affected by tree architectural model and another tree’s morphology.

Idealized branch sections and hydrodynamic analysis characterize rainfall partitioning

Hydrological Processes
AbstractWater flow on plant canopies determines the partitioning of intercepted rainfall between stemflow and throughflow, yet understanding of these flow processes remains minimally developed. Plant canopies may concentrate intercepted water into rivulets that flow beneath branches.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Rainfall partitioning in a young hopea odorata plantation

, 2012
A study on rainfall interception was conducted in a young Hopea odorata plantation at Bukit Tarek Experimental Watershed near Kerling, Selangor. Two interception plots were established, each consisting of 36 trees. Gross rainfall (P g), stemflow (Sf) and

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Rainfall Partitioning by Two Alpine Shrubs in the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China: Implications for Hydrological Modeling in Cold Regions

Understanding rainfall partitioning by shrub canopies is essential for assessing water balance and improving hydrological models in cold regions. From 2010 to 2012, field experiments were conducted in the Hulu catchment of the Qilian Mountains, focusing ...

The rain feels different under the same umbrella: Experiences with poverty across LGBTQ subgroups

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Population‐based survey data have demonstrated that LGBTQ communities report varying rates of economic insecurity, yet very little research directly assesses how pathways into and experiences with poverty look different among subgroups at the intersections of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).
