The amount and patterning of precipitation beneath vegetation is determined by throughfall and stemflow. Throughfall is the portion of precipitation that falls through, or drips from, the …
Due to the challenges brought by field measurements to estimate the aboveground biomass (AGB), such as the remote locations and difficulties in walking in these areas, more accurate …
Forest canopy cover (FCC) is an important ecological parameter of forest ecosystems, and is correlated with forest characteristics, including plant growth, regeneration, biodiversity, light …
Despite some progress, the importance of stemflow remains obscured partly due to computations emphasizing canopy interception loss. We advocate for two metrics—the …
The increased population in megacities has recently exacerbated the need to combat air pollution. This study examined the concept that the sensitivity and tolerance of urban plant …
The integration and connection of habitats in protected areas (PAs) are essential for the survival of plant and animal species and attaining sustainable development. Investigating …
The 'road-effect zone'is a concept developed to describe the impact of road construction on the surrounding area. Although many aspects of the road-effect zone have been …
The first contact between precipitation and the land surface is often a plant canopy. The resulting precipitation partitioning by vegetation returns water back to the atmosphere …
Purpose Root reinforcement is a key parameter in slope stability analysis, but is difficult to be effectively included at the hillslope-scale due to the complexity of root systems. As a result …
