This article reviews the hydrologic importance of fog in its various forms. Meteorologically, fog
is defined as a ground‐touching cloud with a visibility in the horizontal of less than 1000 m. …

Terrestrial plant species vary widely in their adaptation to (increasing) solar UV-B radiation.
Among the various responses of higher plants to enhanced UV-B are increasing leaf …

The abundant epiphyte vegetation of upper montane tropical rain forests, which in terms of
biomass is mainly composed of non-vascular plants (mosses, liverworts and lichens), can be …

This study presents recent field research in a small agricultural catchment in upland West
Java, and identifies the key controls, and scale effects, on sediment yields. Vegetative cover …

The soil chemical and hydrochemical changes accompanying tropical forest disturbances of
varying intensity are reviewed. Various methodological problems are discussed with …

The Luquillo Mountains of northeastern Puerto Rico harbours important fractions of tropical
montane cloud forests. Although it is well known that the frequent occurrence of dense fog is …

The potential importance of roads and settlements for the generation of storm runoff and
sediment in tropical steeplands is increasingly recognised but rarely quantified. This paper …

A critical review with reference to the influences of forests on rainfall, water yield, dry-season
flow, floods, on-site erosion, stream sediment load, and nutrient balance. Many of the …

In many parts of the world local people are convinced that forests, trees and rainfall are related
in more than one way: forests and trees not only depend on rainfall but help to generate it…
