canopy density is linked to weaker or no thermophilisation. By offering more shadow, it appears, the trees are shielding the ground vegetation from the temperature rise. “We believe that the effect of the tree canopy is to moderate changes in temperature at the lower levels in the wood — particularly where, as is the case in much of Europe, woods have been becoming denser and shadier in recent ...

A Note on the Royden Boundary

Recently Loeb and Walsh [3] established several results concerning the Royden boundary in the axiomatic setting. This in effect generalizes theorems about H D-f unctions, Dirichlet-finite harmonic functions on surfaces to Riemannian manifolds, which are the most general carriers of these functions. Their results are however restricted to bounded H D-f unctions. Whether Nakai's [4] characterizat...

On the Kobayashi-Royden metric for ellipsoids

The Kobayashi indicatrix (infinitesimal unit ball) of a domain in IE n is known to be a biholomorphic invariant. In particular, if a domain is biholomorphic to a ball, then the indicatrix is the ball. Until the recent deep results of Lempert [4], it was not known to what extent the indicatrix characterizes the domain. Sibony had shown earlier that the indicatrix of any pseudoconvex circular dom...
