Nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) are important atmospheric trace gases, and soils (including forest soils) are a substantial source of both gases. In forests subjected to elevated N deposition these emissions are considered as indirect emissions from agricultural N sources (mainly NH3) or combustion (e.g. NOx from traffic). However, knowledge about N2O and NO exchange between forests and the atmosphere is scarce. The aim of this study was to determine N2O and NO emission rates from a deciduous forest in Belgium, receiving a high N-deposition (ca. 40 kg N ha-1 yr-1). In April 2000, the NO emission from the forested location was 17.3 (± 1.2) and 17.05 (± 0.7) ng NO-N m-2 s-1, respectively, for the soil including the organic layer and the mineral... |

Ecohydrology investigates how hydrological processes affect plant growth and vice versa. As these mutual interactions are important in many ecosystems, ecohydrology has wide applicability. An important aspect of ecohydrological research is the assessment and prediction of the occurrence of plant species or vegetation types in relation to hydrological or hydrogeochemical habitat conditions. Several models have been developed (e.g. DEMNAT, ICHORS, ITORS, ITORS-VL). All of these models are data driven. Consequently a monitoring network has to be installed, possibly in addition to existing databases. These networks are ecosystem specific but the most widely monitored variables are: water table depth, electric conductivity of groundwater, soil moisture content... |
