Carbon storage, community structure and canopy cover: A comparison along a precipitation gradient
(Elsevier Science, 2011-10)
Protected areas play a significant role in carbon storage in arid and semi-arid land. In the central region of Argentina, there are three nature reserves located along a West to East rainfall gradient between two different ...
Increased canopy seed-storage in post-fire pine invaders suggests rapid selection mediated by fire
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2020-04)
Exotic species storing seeds in the canopy (serotinous species) can experience a clear advantage in fire-prone communities that lack native taxa with such fire-resistant traits. In addition, selection in the new environment ...
Water Storage Discharge and Refilling in the Main Stems of Canopy Tree Species Investigated Using Frequency Domain Reflectometry and Point Electronic Dendrometers
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2013-03)
Water storage in the trunks of large trees plays an important role in whole-plant water balance on both daily and seasonal bases. To investigate the dynamics of water storage and usage in tree trunks, diurnal changes in ...
Canopy Interception for a Tallgrass Prairie under Juniper Encroachment
(Public Library Science, 2015-11-06)
Rainfall partitioning and redistribution by canopies are important ecohydrological processes underlying ecosystem dynamics. We quantified and contrasted spatial and temporal variations of rainfall redistribution for a ...
Urban forest of Mendoza (Argentina): the role of Morus alba (Moraceae) in carbon storage
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017-04)
Carbon dioxide emissions have partially been attributed to urban areas. Nevertheless, cities provide valuable ecosystem services such as carbon storage. The aim of this study is to estimate the carbon storage of Morus alba ...
Quantification of rainfall interception in the high Andean tussock grasslands
(2018)
The páramo ecosystem provides most of the water for the tropical Andean highlands in South America. Although the comprehension of this environment has increased lately, there remains an urgent need to quantify the processes ...
Grazing increases evapotranspiration without the cost of lowering soil water storages in arid ecosystems
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-09)
Grazing is the predominant land use practice in arid environments; however, there are relatively few studies of grazing effects on ecosystem functioning. We assessed the impact of grazing on soil moisture, evapotranspiration ...
