Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought

Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu

Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...

Tree water uptake patterns across the globe

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen

Plant water uptake from the soil is a crucial element of the global hydrological cycle and essential for vegetation drought resilience. Yet, knowledge of how the distribution of water uptake depth (WUD) varies across species, climates, and seasons is scarc ...

Above- and below-ground responses to experimental climate forcing in two forb species from montane wooded pastures in Switzerland

Alexandre Buttler, Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Mountain ecosystems are particularly threatened by ongoing climate change and the species composition of high elevation grasslands is already changing. An open research question is how these ecosystems will adapt to changes in their key environmental const ...

Improved framework to estimate travel time and derived distributions in hydrological control volumes

Mitra Asadollahi

Crossing properties of soil saturation, defined as the duration and excursion of soil saturation below and above certain thresholds, are key variables to ecosystem functioning and evolution by primarily influencing the plant and soil microbes physiological ...

A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Formulation for Optimizing Multi-Scale Material and Energy Integration

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Hür Ebuzer Bütün

This research presents a mathematical formulation for optimizing integration of complex industrial systems from the level of unit operations to processes, entire plants, and finally to considering industrial symbiosis opportunities between plants. The fram ...

An urban ecohydrological model to quantify the effect of vegetation on urban climate and hydrology (UT&C v1.0)

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth, Paolo Burlando

Increasing urbanization is likely to intensify the urban heat island effect, decrease outdoor thermal comfort, and enhance runoff generation in cities. Urban green spaces are often proposed as a mitigation strategy to counteract these adverse effects, and ...

Resilience of riverbed vegetation to uprooting by flow

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy

Riverine ecosystem biodiversity is largely maintained by ecogeomorphic processes including vegetation renewal via uprooting and recovery times to flow disturbances. Plant roots thus heavily contribute to engineering resilience to perturbation of such ecosy ...

Phytoremediation of soils contaminated by organic compounds: hype, hope and facts

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

The present opinion paper is focused on the phytoremediation of organic pollutants and is based on the lectures given by the author during the International Congress of Phytoremediation of Polluted Soils, held at Vigo, Spain, 29-30 July 2014. The aim of th ...

Exergy assessment of single and dual pressure industrial ammonia synthesis units

In exothermic, equilibrium-limited processes such as ammonia synthesis, higher per-pass conversions are often achieved by withdrawing the enthalpy of reaction before the conversion has been completed. However, although inter-bed cooling may help controllin ...
