How plant functional-type, weather, seasonal drought, and soil physical properties alter water and energy fluxes of an oak–grass savanna and an annual grassland
Savannas and open grasslands often co-exist in semi-arid regions. Questions that remain
unanswered and are of interest to biometeorologists include: how do these contrasting …

What limits evaporation from Mediterranean oak woodlands–the supply of moisture in the soil, physiological control by plants or the demand by the atmosphere?
The prediction of evaporation from Mediterranean woodland ecosystems is complicated by
an array of climate, soil and plant factors. To provide a mechanistic and process-oriented …
