Soil water availability and capacity of nitrogen accumulation influence variations of intrinsic water use efficiency in rice
(Elsevier, 2016)
Leaf intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) coupling maximum assimilation rate (Amax) and transpirable water lost via stomatal conductance (gsc) has been gaining increasing concern in sustainable crop production. Factors ...
Canopy transpiration and stomatal responses to prolonged drought by a dominant desert species in central Asia
(MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2017)
In arid and semiarid lands, canopy transpiration and its dynamics depend largely on stomatal sensitivity to drought. In this study, the sap flow of a dominant species, Haloxylon ammodendron growing in Central Asian deserts, ...
A comparison of CO2 fluxes via eddy covariance measurements with model predictions in a dominant subtropical forest ecosystem
(Copernicus Publications, 2009)
CO2 fluxes were measured continuously for twelve months (2003) using eddy covariance technique at canopy layer in a dominant subtropical forest in South China. Our results showed that daytime maximum CO2 fluxes of the whole ...
Treatment of tea industry wastewater using a combined adsorption and advanced oxidation process
(International Conference on Sustainable Research and Innovation, 2014)
Tea, produced from the evergreen plant, Camellia Sinensis, is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. Although tea processing has now diversified into various speciality end products such as instant, ...
Canopy scale CO2 exchange and productivity of transplanted paddy and direct seeded rainfed rice production systems in S. Korea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary food crop that supports more than half the world population. Paddy rice accounts for more than 75% of the total global rice production but requires large amounts of water for irrigation. ...
Soil properties along a gradient from hillslopes to the savanna plains in the Lambwe valley, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2015)
Changes in land use and management strongly affect the physical and chemical properties of soils and their ecological functions. Especially, regions in East Africa have experienced dramatic land use changes in the past, ...
A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes
(WILEY, 2017)
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can
reduce the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic
farming and plant diversification are farm management ...
Stand characteristics and water use at two elevations in a sub-tropical evergreen forest in southern China
(Elsevier, 2014)
The humid evergreen monsoon forests in China and other parts of Asia contribute significantly to the global and regional atmospheric circulation and hydrological cycle. The forests are, however, changing in structure due ...
Sensitivity of peatland herbaceous vegetation to vapor pressure deficit influences net ecosystem CO2 exchange
(Society of Wetland Scientists, 2012)
Mountain peatlands in the temperate regions represent a small proportion of the global peatland resource, but play a unique, although less recognized role in the regional water and biogeochemical cycles. We conducted leaf ...
Environmental controls on growing-season sap flow density of Quercus serrata Thunb in a temperate deciduous forest of Korea
(Ecological Society of Korea, 2012)
Sap flux density (SFD) measurements were used, in combination with morphological characteristics of trees and forest structure, to calculate whole-tree transpiration, stand transpiration (St) and mean canopy stomatal ...
