PLANT ACCESSIBLE WATER STORAGE CAPACITY AND TREE-SCALE ROOT INTERACTIONS DETERMINE HOW FOREST DENSITY REDUCTIONS ALTER FOREST WATER USE AND PRODUCTIVITY

Plant Accessible Water Storage Capacity and Tree-Scale Root Interactions Determine How Forest Density Reductions Alter Forest Water Use and Productivity

Forest disturbances such as wildfire and drought-related disease often lead to declines in productivity that both influence and are influenced by forest water use, particularly in the semi-arid environments of the Western US.Fuel treatments are frequently proposed to reduce vulnerability to these drought-related impacts and in some cases as an appr

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION THROUGH DETECTION OF HOT SPOTS USING THERMOGRAPHY IN COAL DEPOSITS BEFORE SELF IGNITION

In this paper is presented a way to contribute to the environmental protection when it comes to coal which waits in big deposits to be burned for energy production.Because of certain Protective Aprons parameters, in some places, the deposited coal could overheat and self ignite, thus loosing its caloric properties and even lead to fire.In this case
