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 ...
Supplement understanding of the relative importance of biophysical factors in determination of photosynthetic capacity and photosynthetic productivity in rice ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2016)
Extensive variation in gross primary production (GPP) among growing seasons in rice ecosystems, which has previously been reported, may be caused by a number of biophysical factors. Two field-based studies, one on Oryza ...
Quantification of ecosystem carbon exchange characteristics in a dominant subtropical evergreen forest ecosystem
(Korean Meteorological Society and Springer Netherlands, 2012)
CO2 fluxes were measured continuously for three years (2003–2005) using the eddy covariance technique for the canopy layer with a height of 27 m above the ground in a dominant subtropical evergreen forest in Dinghushan, ...
Dynamics of metal uptake and depuration in a parasitized cyprinid fish (Rastrineobola argentea)
(Elsevier, 2012)
Infestation of fish by endoparasites may potentially influence metal uptake and elimination by the host. We quantified the metal uptake rate constant (ku) and efflux rate constants (ke) of radiolabeled Cd and Co in the ...
Analysing land cover and land use change in the Ruma National Park and surroundings in Kenya
(2017)
The change of land use and land cover (LULC) is often driven by the growth of human population. In the Lambwe valley, Kenya, the most important reason for accelerated settlement in the last decades was the control of the ...
Seasonal dynamics in carbon dioxide fluxes of the herbaceous layer of a moist Kenyan savannah
(APPLIED ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, 2014)
Strong seasonal variability in African carbon source/sink relationship is considered the continent’s most significant contribution to the global carbon cycle. Alternating dry and wet periods dictate ecosystem carbon exchange ...
A prospective observational description of frequency and timing of antenatal care attendance and coverage of selected interventions from sites in Argentina, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Pakistan and Zambia
(BMC, 2015)
The Global Network for Women’s and Children’s Health Research is one of the largest international networks for testing and generating evidence-based recommendations for improvement of maternal-child health in resource-limited ...
Spatial heterogeneity in stand characteristics alters water use patterns of mountain forests
(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 ...
