Vegetation can form a barrier between traffic emissions and adjacent areas, but the optimal
configuration and plant composition of such green infrastructure (GI) are currently unclear …

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 …

Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant
competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and …

Through complementarity interactions, mixed-species forests can be more productive than
monocultures, and this effect can increase with tree-species richness. However, this is not …

Plant root water uptake (RWU) has been documented for the past five decades from water
stable isotopic analysis. By comparing the (hydrogen or oxygen) stable isotopic …

Water scarcity contributes to the poverty of around one-third of the world's people. Despite
many benefits, tree planting in dry regions is often discouraged by concerns that trees …

The second edition of this book, first published in 1991 and intended for students and
researchers, contains revised and updated material on the theory and practice of nitrogen …

Studies in global plant biogeography have almost exclusively analyzed relationships of
abiotic and biotic factors with the distribution and structure of vegetation aboveground. The …

Aims In the face of problems caused by 'intensive agriculture'dominated by large areas of
monocultures, mixed intercrop** mimicking natural ecosystems has been reported to …

Agroforestry (AF)-based adaptation to global climate change can consist of (1) reversal of
negative trends in diverse tree cover as generic portfolio risk management strategy;(2) …
