Urban evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the most important components of water and energy
balance, and carbon cycle in urbans. It is also a natural process that is powerful enough to …

Naturally regenerating and restored second growth forests account for over 70% of tropical
forest cover and provide key ecosystem services. Understanding climate change impacts on …

In the semiarid Loess Plateau region of China, ecosystems are frequently affected by water
shortages. Late spring and early summer are periods when forest communities tend to suffer …

Plant transpiration accounts for> 60% of evapotranspiration and is affected by drought in
various ways. Seasonal droughts are frequent in humid region, and co-occur with increasing …

As a drought tolerant plant, jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is commonly planted in semiarid
Northwest China under rainfed conditions. To clarify the response of water use to climatic …

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is widely planted throughout semiarid and subhumid
regions of the Loess Plateau of China. Determining the changes in transpiration of this …

Some essential features of forest hydrologic cycles are based on observations of the soil
water balance. However, measurements of soil water dynamics in subtropical forests have …

This paper compares the water budgets of two adjacent micro-catchments covered by
mature (MAT) and 20-year-old secondary (SEC) lower montane cloud forests, respectively …

Topography may mitigate drought effects on vegetation along a hillslope gradient through
redistribution of soil moisture. We examined the interaction of topography, climate, soil …

Transpiration (Tr) is influenced by environmental factors, vegetation properties, and
anthropogenic management. The effect of environmental factors on Tr are taking place from …
