Assessing Forest Level Response to the Death of a Dominant Tree within a Premontane Tropical Rainforest

Flores III MR, Aparecido LMT, Miller GR, Moore GW. Assessing Forest Level Response to the Death of a Dominant Tree within a Premontane Tropical Rainforest. Forests. 2021; 12(8):1041. https://doi.org/10.3390/f12081041. Small-scale treefall gaps are among the most important forms of forest disturbance in tropical forests. These gaps expose surrounding trees to more light, promoting rapid growth […]

Topographic and Landcover Influence on Lower Atmospheric Profiles Measured by Small Unoccupied Aerial Systems (sUAS)

Prior EM, Miller GR, Brumbelow K. Topographic and Landcover Influence on Lower Atmospheric Profiles Measured by Small Unoccupied Aerial Systems (sUAS). Drones. 2021; 5(3):82. https://doi.org/10.3390/drones5030082. Small unoccupied aerial systems (sUASs) are increasingly being used for field data collection and remote sensing purposes. Their ease of use, ability to carry sensors, low cost, and precise maneuverability and […]

Effect of multilayered groundwater mounds on water dynamics beneath a recharge basin: Numerical simulation and assessment of surface injection

Lu, P., Sheng, Z., Zhang, Z., Miller, G., Reinert, S., & Huang, M. (2021). Effect of multilayered groundwater mounds on water dynamics beneath a recharge basin: Numerical simulation and assessment of surface injection. Hydrological Processes, 35: e14193. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14193 Interactions between groundwater mounds caused by a geologic layer contrast affect the efficiency of managed aquifer recharge in arid areas.
