Abstract Nature‐based solutions for water‐resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ranging from submillimetres tens kilometres. Recent developments environmental sensing, data, modelling have potential drive rapid improvements ecohydrological understanding. After briefly reviewing sensor technologies, this paper...
Abstract In autumn, the dissolved organic matter (DOM) contribution of leaf litter leachate to streams in forested watersheds changes as trees undergo resorption, senescence, and abscission. Despite its biogeochemical importance, little work has investigated how DOM throughout autumn any might differ interspecifically intraspecifically. Since climate change is expected cause vegetation migration, it necessary learn forest composition could affect inputs via leachate. We examined fluorescent...
Significance Rapid groundwater depletion represents a significant threat to food and water security because supplies more than 20% of global use, especially for crop irrigation. A large swath the US High Plains, which produces 50 million tons grain yearly, depends on Ogallala aquifer 90% its irrigation needs. predator–prey-type model serves as minimalist representation use–crop production dynamics. It explains predicts reductions in withdrawal three Plains states subsequent declines...
The purpose of this work was to quantify the variation subcanopy spatiotemporal light dynamics over course a year and link it physiological ecology understory shrub, Lindera benzoin L. Blume (northern spicebush). Covering all seven phenoseasons deciduous forest, utilized line quantum sensor measure in levels under sky conditions at different times day. A total 4,592 individual measurements photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, μmol m-2 s-1) were taken as 15-second spatially-integrated...
Abstract The decomposition of broadleaved tree leaves can contribute a substantial amount energy to forested watersheds via dissolved organic matter (DOM), nutrients, and biological activity. Less is known about how these inputs may vary within single species that have two genetically distinct geographically separate populations, or change throughout autumn senescence abscission. It often implicitly assumed intraspecific differences in leaf‐litter leachate chemistry do not significantly...
Compared with the phyllosphere, bacteria inhabiting bark surfaces are inadequately understood. Based on a preliminary pilot study, our work suggests that microbial populations vary across tree and may differ in relation to surrounding land use. Initial results suggest stemflow, water flows along surface, actively moves bacterial communities tree. These findings underscore need for further study of niche determine whether there connections between biodiversity microbiomes corticular surfaces,...
<p> Many researchers have studied the effects of plantation thinning on forest environments, including thinning-induced changes in soil water, which recharges ground water. However, most these studies sampled only either preferential flow or matrix flow. To properly understand water movement, must be classified into and flow, we sample analyze them separately. Therefore, our purpose is to reveal differences stable isotope rates different vegetation distributions...
<p>Stemflow takes important role on the hydrological and chemical cycling in rhizosphere because it brings intensive rainwater input to forest soil enhances downward infiltration of along tree root network deep horizon. However, there are few studies effects stemflow mechanisms by collecting water. In this study, water near roots (Rd : downslope) far from trunk (Bt between trees) collected a cedar Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Samples were June 24 December 11, 2019...
