How Does Climate Change Affect Forest Canopy?

Drought, carbon dioxide levels, and warm temperatures are the factors that impact forest canopy the most. Climate change weakens trees, reduces leaf area, and leads to tree mortality. Increasing wildfires and insect attacks due to drought will alter the canopy completely. Tree canopy degradation can occur due to climate change effects on various levels of… Continue reading…

How is Human Activity Altering Forest Canopy Dynamics?

Forest disturbance alters microclimate, including light quality and quantity, that can have a far-reaching influence on forest structure and composition. Species need different wavelengths or quality of light for germination. Modulation of light by the canopy influences understory growth. Edge effects favor early succession species. Forests nowadays face unprecedented levels of disturbance from human activity.… Continue reading…

Transpiration, Evapotranspiration, and Leaf Area Index

Increasing evapotranspiration due to global warming is changing the climate. Yet global estimates of transpiration, its major component, are not definite. Global transpiration estimates vary due to different methodologies, approaches, and scales. Including field data in global-scale models is crucial for accurately determining transpiration. Leaf Area Index is an excellent proxy for calculating transpiration by… Continue reading…
