Studying WUE is important to determine the carbon–water coupling amidst climate change and extreme weather events [4,5]. However, multiple-year information about the response of forested wetland ecosystems to global warming and drought is scarce. Ecosystem WUE (expressed as GPP/ET) [5–8] is ...
Management strategies and silvicultural treatments of fire-prone ecosystems often rely on knowledge of the regeneration potential and long-term recovery ability of vegetation types. Remote sensing and GIS applications are valuable tools providing cost-ef
