Their meta-analysis for hundreds of catchments revealed that in general forestation reduces annual river flow (by 23% after 5 years and 38% after 25 years) with greater reductions in catchments with higher mean annual precipitation and larger increases in forest cover. In addition, they ...
The study site was located in a lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, a major type of Bornean tropical rainforest, where there is no clear seasonality in environmental factors such as radiation, temperature, vapor pressure deficits and precipitation; instead, unpredictable dry spells often occur through...
the ratio of mean annual precipitation to mean annual potential evapotranspiration lies between 0.05 to 0.65. daccess-ods.un.org 干旱、半干旱或亚湿润干旱地区,其年 均降雨量与年均可能蒸发量之比在0.05至 0.65之间。 daccess-ods.un.org In the Sahara region of Cameroon, annual temperatures were ...
The Central African forests, the planet's second largest rainforest block, are key to global environmental health. They influence climate change through their crucial role in carbon sinking and storage, affect weather patterns across Africa, and safeguard unique species and biodiverse communities. Their...
Two old-growth forests, the subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest (age >400 years) and tropical seasonal rain forest (age >180 years), have been perfectly preserved in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve and Menglun Nature Reserve, respectively. Previous studies showed that these two old-growth for...
O and δC) for the identification of annual rings in these trees was investigated in two species growing in the tropical rainforest of Central Guyana, C was about 1‰ at an annual scale, whereas δO showed two to four times larger annual excursions. The minima in δO were selected as ...
We have simulated with the NASA - Goddard Institute for Space Studies GCM the removal of tropical rainforest: first individually over the Amazon, Africa and Southeast Asia, and then with all three areas deforested in the same simulation. In each area, we have noted a strong local effect ...
The Gulu, Soroti, and Mbarara stations fall within the tropical savannah climate zone, while Jinja is in the tropical rainforest climate zone (Figure 1). The Gulu and Soroti stations are located north of the equator, while the Mbarara station is located south of it. 2.2.2. Remotely ...
Two regimes of deep convective clouds are studied: tropical maritime and tropical rainforest in the polluted season. We analyzed the changes in precipitation PDF, cloud macro-physical properties and cloud micro-physical properties that can be attributed to aerosols after accounting for first-order ...
Weekly stem radial growth rates increased with precipitation and air temperature at the wetter ravine rainforest site, while relative humidity had a positive effect at the drier karst forest site. Our findings indicate that drought stress advances and shortens the growing season for T. ciliata . ...
