Selecting Suitable Near-Native Lignins for Research
There are several methods to isolate near-native lignins, including milled-wood lignin, enzymatic lignin, cellulolytic enzyme lignin, and enzymatic mild-acidolysis lignin. Which one is the most representative of the native lignin? Herein, near-native ligni ...
Washington2023Mechanistic 2D flow-erosion modelling of vegetated river banks
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz
We present a simple, vertically-explicit 2D model of river bank erosion that also takes the effect of sediment stabilization by plant roots into account. The model is solved in quasi-analytical form for an exemplary non-stationary hydrograph temporal signa ...
2023Persistent decay of fresh xylem hydraulic conductivity varies with pressure gradient and marks plant responses to injury
Defining plant hydraulic traits is central to the quantification of ecohydrological processes ranging from land-atmosphere interactions, to tree mortality and water-carbon budgets. A key plant trait is the xylem specific hydraulic conductivity (Kx), that d ...
2020Return period of vegetation uprooting by flow
Fluvial environments are dynamic systems whose evolution and management are strongly affected by the resilience of riparian vegetation to uprooting by flow. Similarly to other natural phenomena, the interactions between flow, sediment and vegetation uproot ...
2019Responses of permanent grasslands to drought during the plant growing season: combining agronomic, functional and ecophysiological approaches
Extreme summer drought events are predicted to increase in intensity and frequency within the current century. The resulting water scarcity could dramatically impact human activities related to agriculture, due to the strong relationship between precipitat ...
EPFL2019Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Springer2017Herbaceous Angiosperms Are Not More Vulnerable to Drought-Induced Embolism Than Angiosperm Trees
Alexandre Buttler, Hervé Cochard, Constant Signarbieux
The water transport pipeline in herbs is assumed to be more vulnerable to drought than in trees due to the formation of frequent embolisms (gas bubbles), which could be removed by the occurrence of root pressure, especially in grasses. Here, we studied hyd ...
Amer Soc Plant Biologists2016Experimental warming interacts with soil moisture to discriminate plant responses in an ombrotrophic peatland
Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Cédric Pochelon
QuestionA better understanding of the response of Sphagnum mosses and associated vascular plants to climate warming is relevant for predicting the carbon balance of peatlands in a warmer world. Open-top chambers (OTCs) have been used to investigate the eff ...
Wiley-Blackwell2015Cadmium accumulation in six common plant species associated with soils containing high geogenic cadmium concentrations at Le Gurnigel, Swiss Jura Mountains
The uptake of cadmium (Cd) was analyzed for six different perennial plant species growing in a wooded pasture of the Swiss Jura Mountains, where the soils are geogenically enriched in Cd (4.58 mg.kg(-1) on average (n = 36); maximal value: 16.3 mg.kg(-1)). ...
Elsevier Science Bv2015The terms of turbulent kinetic energy budget within random arrays of emergent cylinders
Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo
This article is aimed at quantifying and discussing the relative magnitude of key terms of the equation of conservation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the inter-stem space of a flow within arrays of vertical cylinders simulating plant stems of emerge ...
