Soil organic carbon in semiarid alpine regions: the spatial distribution, stock estimation, and environmental controls

open access: yes, 2019
Purpose: Soil organic carbon (SOC) in alpine regions is characterized by a strong local heterogeneity, which may contribute to relatively large uncertainties in regional SOC stock estimation.

Evaluation of surfactant nonylphenol polyethoxylated 9.5 as a corrosion inhibitor of SAE1020 steel in saline medium

open access: yesRevista Principia
Due to its relatively low cost and good chemical stability, nonylphenol polyethoxylated with an ethoxylation degree of 9.5 (NPE95) is produced on a large scale and widely used in the industry as an emulsifier, detergent, and solubilizer.

Plant Spatial Pattern Predicts Hillslope Runoff and Erosion in a Semiarid Mediterranean Landscape

open access: yes, 2007
The importance of the spatial pattern of vegetation for hydrological behavior in semiarid environments is widely acknowledged. However, there is little empirical work testing the hypothetical covariation between vegetation spatial structure and hillslope

Facing north or south: Does slope aspect impact forest stand characteristics and soil properties in a semiarid trans-Himalayan valley? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An understanding of the differences in vegetation and soil characteristics between slope aspects in high altitude semiarid environments is fundamentally important for efficient management of these semi-natural systems; however, few studies have ...

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Biodiversity of diatom assemblages in a Mediterranean semiarid stream: implications for conservation

open access: yes, 2009
Many semiarid streams are threatened both by human demands and climatic effects (global warming), but little is known about their algal biodiversity and their conservation value, especially in Mediterranean areas.

Stochastic soil water dynamics of phreatophyte vegetation with dimorphic root systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
As the direct uptake of deep groundwater by vegetation may be essential in semiarid regions, we incorporated this process in stochastic root zone water balance models.
