Constraints on shrub cover and shrub–shrub competition in a U.S. southwest desert [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2019 AbstractThe cover of woody perennial plants (trees and shrubs) in arid ecosystems is at least partially constrained by water availability. However, the extent to which maximum canopy cover is limited by rainfall and the degree to which soil water holding capacity and topography impacts maximum shrub cover are not well understood.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]
, 2018 The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
, 2004 Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Shrub-depth: Capturing Height of Dense Graphs
, 2019 The recent increase of interest in the graph invariant called tree-depth and in its applications in algorithms and logic on graphs led to a natural question: is there an analogously useful "depth" notion also for dense graphs (say; one which is stable ...

Functional traits of expanding, thicket-forming shrubs: contrasting strategies between exotic and native species [PDF]
, 2017 Woody expansion has been documented for decades in many different systems globally, often yielding vast changes in ecosystem functioning. While causes and consequences of woody expansion have been well documented, few studies have addressed plant ...
