Sommario/riassunto

A new measurement concept was developed to determine the amount, variability and governing factors of evaporation from the Dead Sea. Additionally, a suitable indirect method to calculate evaporation is presented. Results show that vapour pressure deficit and wind speed are governing evaporation and that the diurnal cycle is determined by three distinct diurnal wind systems. The occurrence frequency and intensity of the wind systems are determined by local differential cooling and heating.

Sommario/riassunto

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the ecology, management and conservation of spruce. Topics discussed include Norway spruce picea abies regeneration and canopy disturbance in a carpathian subalpine forest; uncultured archaea in spruce rhizospheres and mycorrhizas; reversible variations in some wood properties of Norway spruce depending on the tree felling date; Vitamin C as a stress bioindicator of Norway spruce and landscape spruce planning management.
