Current estimates of temperature effects on plants mostly rely on air temperature, although it
can significantly deviate from leaf temperature (T leaf). To address this, some studies have …

The drier climates predicted for many regions will result in reduced evaporative cooling,
leading to leaf heat stress and enhanced mortality. The extent to which nonevaporative …

Forest canopies are incredibly complex self-maintaining biological structures. Conditions
above and within the canopy can differ vastly, often resulting in a vertical gradient of …

Temporal and spatial resolution of satellite images are coarse and cannot provide the real-
time, meter-scale resolution monitoring required in many applications, such as precision …

The pattern of intense defoliation of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) in Southwest China is
assumed to mainly be attributable to drought stress. However, this has never been proven …

We conducted a three-month field experiment focusing on the physical and chemical
characteristics of fog in a tropical rainforest in **shuangbanna, Southwest China, in the …

With large area of primary tropical rainforest converted into rubber (Hevea brasiliensis)
plantation in Southeast Asia, it is necessary to examine the change in soil CO 2 and CH 4 …

Land-use changes can alter carbon cycling. Soil carbon loss resulting from the conversion of
natural forests to rubber plantations (RP) may occur due to changes in litter inputs or in biotic …

Temperature is a key control over biological activities from the cellular to the ecosystem
scales. However, direct, high‐precision measurements of surface temperature of small …

Forest canopies have an important influence on the global climate balance. Through the
analysis of the temperature of the canopy, it is possible to infer about the physiological …
