In this study, we conducted a systematic literature review to determine the physical tree
traits, site conditions, and urban forest management strategies that provide optimal …

Abiotic stresses could have complex and diverse effects on the growth and development of
forest trees. In this review, we summarized the responses of morphological, physiological …

Groundwater recharge is affected by various anthropogenic activities, land use and land
cover (LULC) change among these. The long-term temporal and seasonal changes in LULC …

Climate variability and land use/cover change have a significant impact on hydrological
regimes, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, which have critical water shortage …

Tropical forests have experienced rapid deforestation due to demand from agriculture,
timber, and urbanisation. Throughout the Caribbean, planting resilient, fast growing exotic …

Meteorological factors and human activities (such as changes in crop area) have exerted
great impacts on the agricultural water resources. A thorough understanding of the changes …

Enriched planting of native tree species in monoculture plantation forests is a commonly
recommended forest practice. However, its effect on various ecological processes is …

The global trend of vegetation “greening” in the context of ecological restoration
necessitates an urgent assessment of ecosystem services. As essential components of …

Rainfall interception is a dynamic process where raindrops exert a force on leaf surfaces
causing splashing and changes in leaf inclination angles. Leaf biomechanical properties …

Aim Stemflow has been increasingly recognized as an indispensable component in water
and nutrient budgets within vegetated ecosystems. Here we aim to quantify the stemflow …
