Abstract. Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, carbon budgets at the land–atmosphere interface. However, despite being main land evaporative flux global scale, its response environmental drivers are currently not well constrained by observations. Here we introduce first compilation whole-plant data from sap flow measurements (SAPFLUXNET, https://sapfluxnet.creaf.cat/, last access: 8 June 2021). We harmonized...
Assessing the vulnerability and resilience to coastal hazards is a critical worldwide issue, especially for hurricane-prone regions such as Caribbean. However, development of useful metric assessment has lot challenges. Cartography GIS analysis can contribute effectively solution issue by integrating natural human data layers assessment, mapping, visualization. This paper uses new Resilience Inference Measurement (RIM) model assess 25 countries in Caribbean region hurricanes. The RIM indices...
The COVID-19 health emergency is impacting all of our lives, but the living conditions and urban morphologies found in poor communities make inhabitants more vulnerable to outbreak as compared formal city, where have resources follow WHO guidelines. In general, municipal spatial datasets are not well equipped support responses emergencies, particularly communities. such critical situations, Earth observation (EO) data can play a vital role timely decision making save many people’s lives....

Abstract Key message Intrinsic water use efficiency of Pinus canariensis (Sweet ex Spreng.) growing at a semi-arid treeline has increased during the past 37 years. Tree ring width by contrast declined, likely caused reduced stomatal conductance due to increasing aridity . Context Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration ( C ) been related tree growth enhancement accompanied intrinsic (iWUE). Nevertheless, extent rising on long-term changes in iWUE and remained poorly understood date...
A comparison between maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) and chlorophyll fluorescence decrease ratio (Rfd) for low high temperature resistance was assessed in a seasonal study the acclimation Pterocephalus lasiospermus. Analyzing regression adjustment both parameters lethal temperatures (LT50), Rfd resulted being more sensitive indicator treatments, since thermic estimated with parameter never higher than those Fv/Fm. Furthermore, use Fv/Fm led to an overestimation...
The continuous urbanisation in most Low-to-Middle-Income-Country (LMIC) cities is accompanied by rapid socio-economic changes urban and peri-urban areas. Urban transformation processes, such as gentrification well the increase poor neighbourhoods (e.g., slums) produce new patterns. intersection of very demographic dynamics are often insufficiently understood, relevant data for understanding them commonly unavailable, dated, or too coarse (resolution). Traditional survey-based methods census)...
Two xanthophyll cycles are present in higher plants: the ubiquitous violaxanthin (V) cycle and taxonomically restricted lutein epoxide (Lx) cycle. Conversions of V to zeaxanthin (Z) first Lx (L) second happen parallel under illumination. Unlike cycle, which full epoxidation is completed overnight, this reaction has been described as irreversible on a daily basis most species (the ‘truncated’ cycle). However, there some that display complete restoration overnight (‘true’ So far, little known...
Low temperatures represent the most important environmental stress for plants at treeline ecotone; however, drought periods semiarid could modify photosynthetic performance patterns. Gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, pigments, and α-tocopherol were measured in a Pinus canariensis forest located 2070 m altitude over whole year. The level of summer drought, caused by an extended period without rain very low previous rainfall, was remarkable during study. Furthermore, cold season showed...
Pulse-like rapidly increasing CO2 effluxes occur in soils under seasonally dry climates response to summer rain events, and these outbursts can have a marked influence on the ecosystem carbon balance. Two irrigation experiments were conducted at end of season Mediterranean Pinus canariensis forest its upper distribution limit Tenerife, Canary Islands. Soil efflux was discontinuously monitored along with soil temperature water content during after irrigation. Correlation analysis suggested...
