Using the most complete summary of 20 years of riparian plant water use studies in North American drylands to date, we examine broad patterns of plant water use by vegetation type and across climate gradients. Marshes, cottonwood‐willow stands and tamarisk use larger amounts of water than other communities, and all communities have higher water use in ...

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...
