Soil water dynamics under different forest vegetation cover: Implications for hillslope stability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4376
Abstract: Though it is well known that vegetation affects the water balance of soils through canopy interception and evapotranspiration, its hydrological contribution to soil hydrology and stability is yet to be fully quantified. To improve understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-017-3456-x
Abstract: Background and AimsTo increase yield, cacao is planted increasingly in unshaded monocultures, replacing a more traditional cultivation under shade. We investigated how shade tree cover and species diversity affect the root system and its dynamics.MethodsIn… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-018-0760-z
Abstract: Tree planting and reforestation initiatives in urban and peri-urban areas often use tree distribution or “giveaway” programs as a strategy to increase tree cover and subsequent benefits. However, the effectiveness of these programs in terms of… read more here.
