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 ...
Drought responses of Arrhenatherum elatius grown in plant assemblages of varying species richness
(Elsevier, 2011)
Evidence exists that plant community diversity influences productivity of individual members and their resistance and resilience during and after perturbations. We simulated drought within the long-term EVENT experimental ...
Farmers willingness to pay and the sustainability of irrigated maize production in rural Kenya
(2017)
This paper evaluated farmers willingness to pay for irrigated maize production using field level data collected through a cross sectional survey. The results showed that 78% of the farmers were willing to pay more than the ...
Conditional variations in temperature response of photosynthesis, mesophyll and stomatal control of water use in rice and winter wheat
(2016)
Environmental responses of photosynthesis and CO2 diffusive conductance as fundamental information for photosynthesis-transpiration coupled model have been increasingly concerned while are still research areas with unanswered ...
Manipulative lowering of the water table during summer does not affect CO2 emissions and uptake in a fen in Germany
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)
We simulated the effect of prolonged dry summer periods by lowering the water table on three manipulation plots (D1–3) in a minerotrophic fen in southeastern Germany in three years (2006–2008). The water table at this site ...
Carbon dioxide exchange and its regulation in the main agro-ecosystems of Haean catchment in South Korea
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Asian agricultural landscape, which accounts for approximately 12.6% of the world’s agricultural land, is highly heterogeneous due to the multicultural cropping system. Information regarding CO2 exchange and carbon (C) ...
Tree growth and water-use in hyper-arid Acacia occurs during the hottest and driest season
(Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, 2018)
Drought-induced tree mortality has been recently increasing and is expected to increase further under warming climate. Conversely, tree species that survive under arid conditions might provide vital information on successful ...
Effect of grazing and canopy on Mediterranean ecosystem functioning: Carbon dioxide exchange and the dynamics of carbon and nutrient pools
(EGU General Assembly, 2010)
Mediterranean ecosystems occupy less than 5 % of the Earth's surface, yet they contain about 20 % of the world's flora, including important components in grasslands. In this study, important ecosystem functions (CO2 exchange, ...
Patterns of CO2 exchange and productivity of the herbaceous vegetation and trees in a humid savanna in western Kenya
(Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht, 2015)
Factors governing the dynamics between woody and herbaceous vegetation in the savanna are of ecological interest since they determine ecosystem productivity and stability. Field measurements were conducted in a humid savanna ...
Nutritional and developmental influences on components of rice crop light use efficiency
(Elsevier, 2016)
Light use efficiency (LUE) plays a vital role in determination of crop biomass and yield. Important components of LUE, i.e. canopy structure, nitrogen distribution, photosynthetic capacity and CO2 diffusion conductance ...
