      Tropical lowland rainforests are increasingly threatened by the expansion of agriculture and the extraction of natural resources. In Jambi Province, Indonesia, the interdisciplinary EFForTS project focuses on the ecological ...
    • Reconciling Canopy Interception Parameterization and Rainfall Forcing Frequency in the Community Land Model for Simulating Evapotranspiration of Rainforests and Oil Palm Plantations in Indonesia 

      Fan, YuanchaoORCIDiD; Meijide, AnaORCIDiD; Lawrence, David M.ORCIDiD; Roupsard, OlivierORCIDiD; Carlson, Kimberly M.ORCIDiD; Chen, Hsin-Yi; Röll, AlexanderORCIDiD; Niu, Furong; Knohl, AlexanderORCIDiD (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019)
      By mediating evapotranspiration processes, plant canopies play an important role in the terrestrial water cycle and regional climate. Substantial uncertainties exist in modeling canopy water interception and related ...
    • Water scarcity and oil palm expansion: social views and environmental processes 

      Merten, Jennifer; Röll, AlexanderORCIDiD; Guillaume, Thomas; Meijide, AnaORCIDiD; Tarigan, Suria; Agusta, Herdhata; Dislich, Claudia; Dittrich, Christoph; Faust, Heiko; Gunawan, Dodo; Hein, Jonas; Hendrayanto; Knohl, AlexanderORCIDiD; Kuzyakov, Yakov; Wiegand, KerstinORCIDiD; Hölscher, Dirk (Ecology and Society, 2016)
      Conversions of natural ecosystems, e.g., from rain forests to managed plantations, result in significant changes in the hydrological cycle including periodic water scarcity. In Indonesia, large areas of forest were lost ...
