(2020-11-22)Bottomland hardwood forests (BHFs) along the Gulf coast of Texas have been experiencing a combination of disturbances in the form of hydroclimate changes and excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition, both of which ...
-
(2010-07-14)The first objective of this study was to investigate the role of an invasive grass species, Arundo donax (L.), on the hydrologic cycle. At a site on the Rio Grande in South Texas, we measured the gas exchange of carbon ...

(2012-04-22)Military training lands are among the most degraded rangelands in the United States. Tracked vehicle training represents the largest source of soil disturbance on these rangelands (Fang et al. 2002). Training activities ...
-
(2021-04-26)There are few other regions that have been as significantly altered by woody plant encroachment (WPE) as the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of the United States. The transition from an oak savanna to a shrubland mosaic ...
-
(2011-02-22)The presence of fractures, joints and karst features within rock strongly influence the hydraulic and mechanical behavior of a rock mass, and there is a strong desire to characterize these features in a noninvasive manner, ...
-
(2016-08-22)Dryland tropical forests are at risk globally because of accelerated deforestation and the consequent losses of hydrological functions. The Caatinga shrublands in Brazil, for example, are dry tropical forests undergoing ...
-
(2011-08-08)Land degradation and anthropogenic change is widespread on rangelands in Texas. Over the last 150 years, noticeable change has occurred as a direct result of agricultural practices and human activity. As novel ecosystems ...
-
(2017-05-10)Spatial and temporal variation in wet canopy conditions following precipitation events can influence processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis, which can be further enhanced as upper canopy leaves dry more rapidly. ...
-
(2009-06-02)In dryland regions, where water is a limited resource, land use/land cover has undergone and continues to undergo significant change mainly due to human activities. The nature of runoff from dryland regions and the influence ...
-
(2016-05-24)Despite the prevailing assumption that hydrological flow variation is amplified and runoff increased with deforestation, evidence behind these claims is limited for very moist tropical regions. Data derived from field ...
-
(2020-05-21)The fractional contribution of transpiration (T) to total evapotranspiration (ET), fT, is an important indicator of water use efficiency in forests and other ecosystems, and an improved understanding of fT is necessary for ...
