Measuring evapotranspiration of hardy ornamental nursery stock: a hurdle for irrigation management

, 2013
Although the land area dedicated to the production of hardy ornamental nursery stock (HONS) is relatively small, the sector places considerable demands on water supplies: production is largely in pots with limited water-holding capacity, and therefore ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

The impact of tropical forests on local climate: Comparing recent research with conservation practitioner information priorities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The local‐scale climate impacts of tropical forests (LCIF), such as reducing temperatures and increasing rainfall, are directly relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Strengthening understanding of these local climate benefits can encourage actions to conserve natural forests, with positive implications for climate resilience ...
