Hydraulic Redistribution by Native Sahelian Shrubs: Bioirrigation to Resist In-Season Drought
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 Hydraulic redistribution (HR) by woody vegetation has been proposed as a potential water source for crops in intercropped systems. The native woody shrub, Guiera senegalensis J.F.

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.

Options for reducing house-losses during wildfires without clearing trees and shrubs
Landscape and Urban Planning, 2018 Removing vegetation close to houses is at the forefront of advice provided to home owners by fire management agencies. However, widespread clearing of trees and shrubs near houses impacts aesthetics, privacy, biodiversity, energy consumption and property

Shrub Cover and Soil Moisture Affect Taxus baccata L. Regeneration at Its Southern Range
Plants, 2023 The effect of key ecological and anthropic factors on the recruitment of the common yew (Taxus baccata L.) in Sardinia (Italy) has been analyzed. After bibliographic and cartographic research, followed by field surveys, we found 232 sites where yew grows

Influence of topography and moisture and nutrient availability on green alder function on the low arctic tundra, NT [PDF]
, 2017 The Arctic has warmed by at least 3°C over the past 50 years and this rapid warming is expected to continue. Climate warming is driving the proliferation of shrubs across the tundra biome with implications for energy balance, climate, hydrology, nutrient
