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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Water use by a warm-temperate deciduous forest under the influence of the Asian monsoon: contributions of the overstory and understory to forest water use
(Elsevier, 2013)
The warm temperate deciduous forests in Asia have a relatively dense understory, hence, it is imperative that we understand the dynamics of transpiration in both the overstory (E O) and understory (E U) of forest stands ...
Leaf and Ecosystem Gas Exchange Responses of Buffel Grass-Dominated Grassland to Summer Precipitation

Estimation of carbon balance components for an agricultural landscape in South Korea
(2011)
The goal of our work is to evaluate as far as possible carbon budget components for an agriculturally dominated landscape in South Korea. In the last decades, rapid changes of land use and land cover due to economic ...
Changes in forest soil properties in different successional stages in lower tropical China
(Plosone.org, 2013)
Background: Natural forest succession often affects soil physical and chemical properties. Selected physical and chemical soil properties were studied in an old-growth forest across a forest successional series in Dinghushan ...
Functional convergence in water use of trees from different geographical regions: a meta-analysis
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-06)
Functional convergence in water use of trees across species from diverse geographic locations was examined using data on tree water use parameters, with the intention of gaining an understanding on the capacity for water ...
Seed dispersal by Tana River mangabeys in fragmented gallery forests
(SciRes., 2012)
Data collected on a free ranging group of Tana River mangabeys (Cercocebus galeritus) indicates that this endangered primate species, which has previously been regarded as a seed predator, plays an important role in seed ...
