Transpirational water use and its regulation in the mountainous terrain of S. Korea
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Quantifying water use by forests growing on complex mountainous terrain is difficult and understanding of controls on water use by these forests a challenge. Yet mountains are crucial as water towers and better understanding ...
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 ...
Manipulative lowering of the water table during summer does not affect CO2 emissions and uptake in a minerotrophic fen
(BayCEER, 2009)
We simulated the effect of prolonged summer drought by lowering the water table on three manipulation plots (D1-3) in a minerotrophic fen in South-eastern Germany in three subsequent years (2006-2008). Water table was ...
Responses of CO2 exchange and primary production of the ecosystem components to environmental changes in a mountain peatland
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2009)
The complexity of natural ecological systems presents challenges for predicting the impact of global environmental changes on ecosystem structure and function. Grouping of plants into functional types, that is, groups of ...
Diffuse PAR irradiance under clear skies in complex alpine terrain
(Elsevier, 2004)
The diffuse component of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is important for models that calculate carbon dioxide uptake in photosynthesis by vegetation. Few PAR measurements are usually available, especially in ...
An ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by the Nandi people in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2007)
Ethnopharmacological relevance
The study of local knowledge about natural resources is becoming increasingly important in defining strategies and actions for conservation or recuperation of residual forests.
Aims of the ...
Overcoming the Challenges of Estimating Water Use in Temperate, Mixed Deciduous Forest of S. Korea
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
About 80% of forests in Korea occur in mountainous regions and are composed of a rich diversity of mixed deciduous tree species. Mountains in this region receive more rainfall and act as fountains that supply fresh water ...
