Water resources planning and climate change adaptation strategies of Sardinian basins under water-limited conditions
… soils, herbaceous vegetation, and wild olive trees; and another in the Marganai forest, a denser holm oak (Quercus ilex) forest on steeper rocky slopes. Measurements of land surface energy fluxes, carbon dioxide fluxes, soil moisture, and tree transpiration highlight different ecohydrological …

Water Fluxes in Soil-Pavement Systems: Integrating Trees, Soils and Infrastructure
In urban areas, trees are often planted in bare soil sidewalk openings (tree pits) which recently are being covered with permeable pavements. Pavements are known to alter soil moisture and temperature, and may have implications for tree growth, root development and depth, drought resilience, and …

Environmental Influences on Tree-driven Karst Bedrock Physical Weathering
<p>The role of tree roots as stressors that contribute to physical weathering processes and thus soil generation remains an open question in critical zone science. While evidence suggests roots may be able to damage rock by accessing pre-existing fractures, where they can expand due to water uptake …

Coordinated Tree Responses to Drought -Vulnerability and Sustainable Production: Hypotheses on Arid Ecosystem Adjustments to Limitations in Water Resources
… experiments were carried out to investigate tree responses to declining soil water content. Field experiments were conducted on naturally growing trees of Acacia tortilis and A. xanthophloea in the savanna region of Kenya and Quercus suber in the Mediterranean region of Portugal. The selected …
