The worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit and, ideally, highly resolved information is required to manage terrestrial
For this study, we used data from three sub-sites, named “Kakubari”, “Perros” and “Principe” which are all located in TDF of an intermediate successional stage. This stage is characterized by two layers of canopy with a large variety of deciduous and few evergreen species (e.g., ...
can cause reversible changes in leaf inclination, towards a more vertical position or even leaf abscission if leaves are irreversible damaged, which leads to higher canopy transparency and in turn reduces the potential of cooling provided by shading43. The ability ...

Sustainable crop production could contribute to feed and fuel for the ever-increasing global population. The use of heavy agricultural machinery has improv
Pullout capacity of vertical plate anchors in unsaturated clay considering variable surface flow conditions Vertical plate anchors are placed in the soil to improve the lateral resistance of various geotechnical structures. Extensive research has been conducted to find out the pullout capacity of vertical...
been complemented with expansions to model functionality (e.g., introduction of a global interactive crop model with fertilization and irrigation and introduction of an embedded ice sheet model) and model structural updates (e.g., increased soil vertical resolution and spatially variable soil depth)....
Monitoring the vertical distribution of leaf area index (LAI) is an effective method for evaluating canopy photosynthesis and biomass productivity. In this study, we proposed a novel method to characterize LAI vertical distribution non-destructively by u
Forest land has a strong soil retention capacity, as it can intercept rainfall through the canopy, dead leaf, and soil layers, thus reducing the rainwater washout on the soil. The results of this study indicate that the increase in forest land after the implementation of the national ecological...
