Forest-driven water and energy cycles are poorly integrated into regional, national, continental global decision-making on climate change adaptation, mitigation, land use management. This constrains humanity’s ability to protect our planet’s life-sustaining functions. The substantial body of research we review reveals that forest, interactions provide the foundations for carbon storage, cooling terrestrial surfaces distributing resources. Forests trees must be recognized as prime regulators...
Scientific innovation is overturning conventional paradigms of forest, water, and energy cycle interactions. This has implications for our understanding the principal causal pathways by which tree, vegetation cover (TFVC) influence local global warming/cooling. Many identify surface albedo carbon sequestration as TFVC affects Moving toward outer latitudes, in particular, where snow more important, effects are perceived to overpower sequestration. By raising albedo, deforestation thus...
Ecosystems use solar energy for self-organisation and cool themselves by exporting entropy to the atmosphere as heat. These transformations are achieved through evapotranspiration, with plants 'heat valves'. In this study, dissipative process is demonstrated at sites in Czech Republic Belgium, using landscape temperature data from thermovision satellite images. While global warming commonly attributed atmospheric CO2, research shows water vapour has a concentration two orders of magnitude...
Abstract In eastern Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, historic policies led to large, monocropped agricultural landscapes resulting in degradation of traditional landscapes. last 20 years, expansion urban industrial areas has added this degradation. The growing interest nature‐based solutions, including water‐retention measures, is a response reversing landscape degradation, rejuvenating ecosystem services, mitigating impacts large‐scale commercial agriculture climate change. study,...
Algae and cyanobacteria have been studied in two so far phycologically unexplored show caves (Chýnov Koněprusy) the Czech Republic. Taxa were identified morphologically using cultivation subsequent light microscopy, while problematic cyanobacterial species verified by sequencing genes for 16S rRNA 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer. A total of 13 taxa found, Bacillariophyceae, three Xanthophyceae, four Chlorophyceae, six Trebouxiophyceae, 11 Streptophyta, Euglenida; many these found first...
Abstract Transpiration, evapotranspiration and evaporative fraction (EF) were measured in a temperate zone wetland dominated by Phalaris arundinacea L. under extremely high temperature intense irradiation conditions. The infrared (IR) camera recorded no extremes within the stand, indicating that stand was capable of regulating overheating transpiration. transpiration rate individual leaves (measured gas‐exchange method) positively correlated with water vapour pressure deficit air ( R 2 =...
