Interactive influence of livestock grazing and manipulated rainfall on soil properties in a humid tropical savanna
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
Purpose
The effect of uncontrolled grazing and unpredictable rainfall pattern on future changes in soil properties and processes of savanna ecosystems is poorly understood. This study investigated how rainfall amount at ...
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 ...
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) ...
The Afro-alpine dwarf shrub Helichrysum citrispinum favours understorey plants through microclimate amelioration
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Background: Positive plant–plant interactions similar to specialised plant growth forms are potential strategies to overcome the environmental harshness of Afro-alpine ecosystems. However, knowledge about plant–plant ...
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 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. ...
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, ...
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 ...
