Unraveling the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of species diversity is a central pursuit in ecology. It has been hypothesized that ectomycorrhizal (EcM) in contrast to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can reduce tree species diversity in local communities, which remains to be tested at the global scale. To address this gap, we analyzed global forest inventory data and revealed that the relationship […]
Land surface schemes are vital components of general circulation models (GCMs) which provide the fluxes of heat, water and momentum at the land–atmosphere interface. The fluxes simulated by these schemes are especially dependent on the way in which the canopy (or ‘bulk stomatal’) conductance for plant transpiration is modelled. Considerable research has been carried out into the dependences of canopy […]
In order to manage the world’s increasingly scarce water resources we must have a sound understanding of how water moves around the planet and what influences water quality. Fundamentals of Hydrology provides an engaging and comprehensive introduction to this subject and provides real-life examples of water resource management in a changing world. The second edition of this popular book brings […]
