Abstract “Blue carbon” wetland vegetation has a limited freshwater requirement. One type, mangroves, utilizes less during transpiration than adjacent terrestrial ecoregions, equating to only 43% (average) 57% (potential) of evapotranspiration ( $$ET$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>ET</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ). Here, we demonstrate that comparative consumptive water use by mangrove is as much 2905 kL H 2 O ha −1 year ecoregions with...
Abstract It is commonly accepted that vegetation patterns and water supply mutually define each other. In mangroves, soil salinity the corresponding osmotic potential are main drivers of plant supply. Below-ground processes thus may be key for structure dynamics mangrove stands. Nevertheless, existing simulation models describing forest do not quantify uptake single from traditionally neglect any feedback on availability, but instead use empirical, statistical competition affecting growth....
Rural households across developing countries rely on diversified sources of income, and forest resources play important role in this regard. There is no background information about the situation Myanmar regards income. This study analyses how socio-economic factors determine households' dependency income among rural Chin State Myanmar. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions key informant interviews 40 two villages located around Natma Taung national...
Abstract. WaSiM-ETH (Gurtz et al., 2001), a widely used water balance simulation model, is tested for its suitability to serve flow analysis in the context of rainfall runoff modelling and flood forecasting. In this paper, special focus on resolution process domain space as well time. We try couple model runs with different calculation time steps order reduce effort arising from calculating whole hydrograph at hourly step. aim daily step purposes, switching whenever high-resolution...
Abstract. For the modelling of flood routing in lower reaches Freiberger Mulde river and its tributaries one-dimensional hydrodynamic system HEC-RAS has been applied. Furthermore, this model was used to generate a database train multilayer feedforward networks. To guarantee numerical stability for some 60 km streamcourse an adequate resolution space requires very small calculation time steps, which are two orders magnitude smaller than input data resolution. This leads quite high computation...
Abstract Key message Plant–soil feedbacks in mangrove ecosystems are important for ecosystem resilience and can be investigated by establishing links between empirical modelling studies. as they provide valuable insights into dynamics stability against multiple stressors disturbances, including global climate change. In mangroves, plant–soil the face of sea level rise, carbon sequestration, to support successful restoration. Despite recognition importance there is limited data available. We...
Abstract Rapid urbanization in African metropolises like the Greater Asmara Area, Eritrea, poses numerous environmental challenges, including soil sealing, loss of vegetation cover, threats to protected natural areas, and climate change, among others. Mapping assessing ecosystem services, particularly analyzing their spatial temporal distribution is crucial for sustainable planning. This study aims at mapping services hotspots coldspots dynamics Area identify recent trends opportunities...
Abstract Background and Aims Trees interconnected through functional root grafts can exchange resources, but the effect of on trees remains under debate. A mechanistic understanding resource via will help understand their ecological implications for tree water individual trees, groups forest stands. Methods To identify main patterns qualitatively describing movement sap between grafted we reviewed available literature grafting in woody plants that focus allometry translocation grafts. We...
Abstract. The hydromorphological analysis (HMA) is a method to quantify the potentials of mire revitalisation. In this study, HMA combined with new peatland-tool water balance model AKWA-M®. This includes as well depth functions hydraulic conductivity and drainable porosity for several mire-ecotope-types specific equations evapotranspiration. calculations were applied in peatlands mires German-Czech Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge/Krušné hory). simulation results show that chosen are valuable...
Abstract Spatiotemporal information on mangrove species assemblage of natural, disturbed, and rehabilitated is an essential prerequisite for effective strategies biodiversity conservation management. However, appropriate field‐based sampling spatial heterogeneity still hamper the detection distribution its temporal development. An increasing amount remote sensing data seems perfect way to tackle these challenges. With this article, we fill gap by presenting a review challenges limitations...
The hydraulic architecture of plants responds to their water availability, mediating between promoting flow and providing safety against embolism. Sites with a constant supply favor large vessel diameters, while in dry conditions, narrower vessels are more advantageous. characteristics the primarily shaped by species’ adaptation its preferred habitat. However, physiological plasticity enables individual undergo further adaptations suit specific sites. Mangroves constantly exposed low...
