Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Modelling the physical characteristics of simulated rainfall: a comparison with natural rainfall

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology, 1997
The drop size distributions and the drop velocity function that characterize simulated rainfall at three intensities are modelled in terms of expressions developed for natural rainfall. As a result, the continuous relationship between kinetic energy per unit of mass (or time) and intensity is defined for the simulated case, and is compared with that ...

Theoretical prediction of rainfall intensity for a small rainfall simulator

2022 IEEE Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and Forestry (MetroAgriFor), 2022
In this contribution, a theoretical approach was developed for predicting rainfall intensity for a small rainfall simulator. The developed equation was tested for two different devices and different pressure head and water temperature values. The proposed relationship was found to have a good predictive ability of rainfall intensity.

Understanding heavy metal and suspended solids relationships in urban stormwater using simulated rainfall

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Management, 2005
Urban stormwater from simulated rainfall on three different landuses in Queensland State Australia (residential, industrial, commercial) were analysed for heavy metals and physico-chemical parameters such as Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and Total ...

A virtual discrete rainfall simulator

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2012
This paper describes the development and test of a numerical rainfall generator for use as a preprocessor for small-scale spatialized simulation of processes induced by rain, such as soil erosion or soil surface crusting. This generator produces series of individual raindrops respecting both a given hyetograph and a spatial distribution, and satisfying

Rainfall simulators for investigating soil response to rainfall

Soil Technology, 1989
Summary This paper discusses the design of a rainfall simulator to quantify differences in infiltration, runoff production and sediment movement on different soil units. The task was to design an apparatus that would simulate rainfall at a range of intensities representative of its natural occurrence, with the considerable accuracy of replication ...
