Trees harvesting the clouds: fog nets threatened by climate change.
The major direct drivers of environmental change in mountains are relief, hydroclimate and land use. Mountain forests affected by persistent seasonal or annual fog are called montane cloud forests (Bubb et al. 2004). On the slopes of temperate mountains, the elevation of the cloud base marks the transition from mon-tane (hardwood-deciduous, lower-altitude) to cloud (conifer-evergreen, higher-al...
متن کاملdynamical assessment of fog harvesting based on fractal theory
abstract the limitation of water sources in most places all over the world, especially in arid and semi-arid lands is an important issue for those who live in these areas. many governments have dedicated their efforts toward finding new water resources to obtain water. fog and cap clouds harvesting are one of the candidate methods to produce pure water. many countries including chile, peru, ecu...
متن کاملBioinspired Breathable Architecture for Water Harvesting
Thuja plicata is a coniferous tree which displays remarkable water channelling properties. In this article, an easily fabricated mesh inspired by the hierarchical macro surface structure of Thuja plicata branchlets is described which emulates this efficient water collection behaviour. The key parameters are shown to be the pore size, pore angle, mesh rotation, tilt angle (branch droop) and laye...
متن کاملDirectional Anisotropic Multiscale Systems on Bounded Domains
Driven by an overwhelming amount of applications numerical approximation of partial differential equations was established as one of the core areas in applied mathematics. During the last decades a trend for the solution of PDEs emerged, that focuses on employing systems from applied harmonic analysis for the adaptive solution of these equations. Most notably wavelet systems have been used and ...
متن کاملPotassium reserves in soils with arid and semi-arid climate in southern Iran: a perspective based on potassium fixation
ABSTRACT- The present research was conducted to study K forms and fixation in soils of southern Iran (Hormozgan Province) with aridic and aridic-ustic regimes and to address the relations between soil mineralogy and potassium forms. Thirteen surface soil samples (0-25 cm) were collected from different regions and analyzed in laboratory. Illite and feldspar and mica are the major clay and soil m...
