Tropical forests are recognized for their role in providing diverse ecosystem services (ESs), with carbon uptake the best recognized. The capacity of tropical to provide ESs is strongly linked enormous biodiversity. However, causal relationships between biodiversity and poorly understood. This may be because often translated into species richness. Here, we argue that focusing on multiple attrib...

• DSL: riparian zone layer that contributes most water and solute fluxes to streams. We explored changes in the DSL under climate scenarios a Mediterranean catchment. The will move down future reducing exports stream. Lateral organic matter carbon concentrations likely decrease. ‘Dominant Source Layer’ (DSL) is defined as (RZ) depth stratum concept can be used explain timing amount of transferr...

Increasingly severe hydrological extremes are predicted for the Pannonian Basin as one of consequences climate change. The challenges extreme droughts require adaptation agriculture especially during intense growth phase crops. For dryland farming, selections optimal land use type and sustainable agricultural management potential tools facing posed by increased aridity. To this end, it is indis...

Vegetation dynamics are sensitive to climatic warming and affected by individual or combined factors at different temporal scales with intensities. Previous studies have unraveled the relationships between vegetation factors; however, it is unclear whether effects of single on dominant for scales, types, regions. The objective this study was explore scale-specific univariate multivariate contro...

The species of Artemisia are well known in the Mediterranean region, especially Morocco, for their traditional uses and health benefit. In this study, we were interested two Artemisia, namely A. herba alba Asso mesatlantica Maire. These collected from different soils Central Middle Atlas (loamy, stony, limestone rocky soil) with atmospheres. Extraction essential oils leaves flowering tops was c...

The interaction between the land surface and atmosphere is a crucial driver of atmospheric processes. Soil moisture precipitation are key components in this feedback. Both variables intertwined cycle, that is, soil – feedback for which involved processes interactions still discussed. In study compared sempiternal humid Ammer catchment Southern Germany semiarid to subhumid Sissili West Africa du...
