Abstract:
Although water conservation programs in the arid Southwest have prompted prudent landscaping practices such as planting low water use trees, there is little data on the actual water use of most species. Few methods or models have been developed for measuring tree water use. The stem heat balance method is one such method. Predictive models of tree water use have been limited to applications of the Penman-Monteith (PM) equation with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this study was: to validate stem flow gauge accuracy in a greenhouse and a desert environment; to determine the actual wa

Many large terrestrial ecosystems have patterned landscapes as a result of a positive feedback system between vegetation communities and environmental factors. One example is tree island habitats in the Florida Everglades. Although they only occupy a small portion of the Everglades landscape, tree islands are important features as the focus of nutrient accumulation and wildlife biodiversity in the Everglades ecosystem. The hardwood hammock community on the elevated head of tree island habitats can accumulate high phosphorus concentration in the otherwise P-limited Everglades ecosystem. In this

Abstract:
A general paradigm in semi-arid and arid systems is that woody plants with dimorphic root systems will exhibit preferential use of deeper soil water because it represents a more stable source of water than short duration pulses of shallow soil moisture derived from summer rainfall. However, whether this holds across all woody species and whether use of deeper soil water interacts with use of shallow soil water is not determined for many species in different ecosystems. Understanding the amount of water plants derive from groundwater and shallow soil water is critically important to accurate ca

Native plant communities and agricultural land are commonly converted to urban areas as cities across the Western United States continue to grow and expand. This expansion is typically accompanied by afforestation where a common goal among communities is to maximize shade tree composition. Planted forests in these regions are commonly composed of introduced tree species native to mesic environments and their ability to persist is dependent on consistent irrigation inputs. Many potential ecosystem services may be derived from planting trees in urban and suburban areas; however, there are also c

Exploring how drought influences growth, performance, and survival in different species is crucial to understanding the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems.

The arrival of the North American Monsoon System (NAMS) terminates a presummer hyperarid period in the southwestern United States (U.S.), providing summer moisture that is favorable for forest growth. Montane forests in this region rely on winter snowpack to drive much of their growth; the extent to which they use NAMS moisture is uncertain. We addressed this by studying stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in earlywood and latewood from 11 sites along a latitudinal gradient extending from Arizona and New Mexico to Utah.

Windbreaks have been promoted as a means of arresting degradation of agricultural lands in the Sahel resulting from deforestation, but competition for water between windbreak trees and adjacent crops must be minimised if windbreaks are to be successfully established in areas where crop production is threatened by loss of trees.

Abstract:
Uncertainties were analyzed in three areas (remote sensing, dendroclimatology, and climate modeling) relevant to current water resources management. First, the research investigated the relationships between remotely sensed and in situ Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) datasets in three western U.S. basins. Agreement between SWE products was found to increase in lower elevation areas and later in the snowpack season. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) revealed two distinct snow regions among the datasets and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) was used to link both data products with regional stream

University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Environmental Sciences.<br>This thesis presents the results of work undertaken to examine daily, seasonal and annual patterns of water use by a native remnant woodland in temperate Australia. The focus of the study was on the two dominant tree species of the woodland, but limited assessments of understorey and soil evapotranspiration were also undertaken. One of dominant species was Eucalyptus crebra, a broad-leaved tree and the other was Callitris glaucophylla a needle-leaved tree. At the start of the study, much of the eastern seaboard of Australi

Abstract:
Farmers in developing countries are struggling to feed families due to low crop yields resulting from land degradation, land use pressures and unsustainable use of water resources. While deliberate integration of trees into farming systems (agroforestry) has been practiced traditionally in the Mt. Elgon region of Uganda since time immemorial, with modernisation of society and commercialisation of agriculture, many farmers are motivated to dismantle agroforestry systems in favour of monocultural farming systems. The science needed to improve agroforestry in the Mt Elgon region should focu

The weather type of this area is warm heavy-humid type with average temperature 21℃ and average relative humidity 80%. We select ten dominant tree species to measure their leaf photosynthesis and transpiration. Four of them were chosen to probe into the relationships among photosynthetic gas exchange rate and measured meteorological factors. Results were summarized as follows: 1.Formosan Ash had the highest net photosynthetic rate in ten te
