Enhancing harvested rainwater quality through nanofiltration and storage practices in a rural community

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Journal of Rural and Community Studies
Water scarcity remains a persistent global challenge, particularly in rural communities where untreated harvested rainwater is often the primary source of water for domestic use. This study investigated cost-effective strategies to improve the quality of

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Rainwater Harvesting Design

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we present a new system for gathering and utilizing rainwater for uses in an industrial capacity. The main idea is to capture, transport, store, and lter rainwater and feed cooling systems within the factory. The design consists of four major components: PVC piping for transportation, a 10,000 Gallon water tank for storage, membrane and ...

Recurrent drought amplifies drought impacts and increases seasonal synchrony in mountain grassland communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climate change increases the recurrence of drought events with strong repercussions on grassland ecosystems. While the effects of single drought events on ecosystem structure and functioning are well understood, it is largely unknown whether and how recurrent drought events modify ecosystem responses to subsequent drought.

Different from the start: key dimensions of seedling traits of central European temperate grassland species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Plant traits and their tradeoffs are major determinants of plant functions. Although trait‐based frameworks should apply to plant functioning at any life stage, they have been primarily established for adult plants. Therefore, we lack comprehensive trait‐based studies of seedlings across multiple species to prove which key dimensions of trait variation

Optimizing Ridge–Furrow Rainwater-Harvesting Strategies for Potato Cultivation in the Drylands of Northwestern China: A Regional Approach

open access: yesAgronomy
The arid and semi-arid region of Northwest China plays a significant role in potato production, yet yields are often hampered by drought due to limited precipitation and irrigation water.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Rainwater harvesting

open access: yes, 1991
Denna litteraturöversikt tar upp en del av vad som har skrivits om rainwater harvesting. Termen rainwater harvesting används för ett antal olika metoder för att samla in och koncentrera regnvatten från ett större avrinningsområde till en mindre yta. I den här uppsatsen behandlas insamling av regnvatten för bevattning.
