TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified water-balance model is proposed for con- ceptualizing how woody plant encroachment is likely to affect components of the water cycle within these ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope measurements of water vapor in the turbulent boundary layer for partitioning evapotranspiration under such dynamic conditions were used to investigate the responses of transpiration and soil evaporation to an irrigation event in an olive orchard.

TL;DR: The results imply that growth-based mortality algorithms may be a powerful tool for predicting gymnosperm mortality induced by chronic stress, but not necessarily so for angiosperms and in case of intense drought or bark-beetle outbreaks.

TL;DR: It is concluded that species specificity of the isotopic shift indicates that evergreen conifers demonstrate varying degrees of functional plasticity across environmental gradients, while the observed convergence of δ13C with LMA suggests that internal resistance may be the key to understanding inter-specific isotopic variation across altitude.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework for developing rigorous data standards and extending the utility of phenocam data through standardized ground-truthing, which can be used for analysis, visualization, and collaboration.
