Contrasting Leaf Trait Responses of Conifer and Broadleaved Seedlings to Altered Resource Availability Are Linked to Resource Strategies

Christoph Bachofen, Yan Li Zhang

(1) Understanding tree seedling responses to water, nutrient, and light availability is crucial to precisely predict potential shifts in composition and structure of forest communities under future climatic conditions. (2) We exposed seedlings of widesprea ...

2020

In the last decade, the massive penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) has brought significant technical challenges to all the aspects related to the planning and operation of distribution networks. Thus, smart grid concept has evolved as a new operat ...

It is a complex and challenging task to evaluate the effects of a river restoration measure on the riverscape’s habitat mosaic. This study investigated the medium term effects of a restoration measure in a residual flow reach downstream of a hydroelectric ...

2020

Floods and subsequent bank erosion are recurring hazards that pose threats to people and can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure. While numerous approaches exist on modeling bank erosion, very few consider the stabilizing effects of vegetation (i. ...

MDPI2020

Recently several initiatives on the political and practical level have aimed at promoting forest biodiversity and at halting the loss of species in forest ecosystems. Nevertheless numerous species are still threatened. The main reason for this phenomenon i ...

Transpiration on the rebound in lowland Sumatra

Thomas Guillaume, Mitsunori Nomura

Following large-scale conversion of rainforest, rubber and oil palm plantations dominate lowland Sumatra (Indonesia) and other parts of South East Asia today, with potentially far-reaching ecohydrological consequences. We assessed how such land-use change ...

A review of modeling the effects of vegetation on large wood recruitment processes in mountain catchments

Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz

Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several advantages, LW can also exacerbate flood damage near infrastructure due to logjams ...

A Physical Model of Nonstationary Blur in Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Paul Hurley, Dimitris Perdios, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Besson

While restoration methods have been extensively studied in ultrasound (US) imaging, only few recent works have focused on modeling and understanding the blur from a physical point of view even in simple configurations, such as lossless homogeneous media. D ...
