Can Thinning Foster Forest Genetic Adaptation to Drought? A Demo‐Genetic Modelling Approach With Disturbance Regimes by Victor Fririon, Hendrik Davi, Sylvie Oddou‐Muratorio, Gauthier Ligot, François Lefèvre

“…ABSTRACT In managed populations—whether for production or conservation—management practices can interfere with natural eco‐evolutionary processes, providing opportunities to mitigate immediate impacts of disturbances or enhance selection on tolerance traits. Here, we used a modelling approach to explore the interplay and feedback loops among drought regimes, natural selection and tree thinning in naturally regenerated monospecific forests. …”

Geographic information system and process-based modeling of soil erosion and sediment yield in agricultural watershed by G.R. Puno, R.A. Marin, R.C.C. Puno, A.G. Toledo-Bruno

“…At a watershed scale, the model predicted the erosion and sediment yield at 89 tons per hectare per year and 22 tons per hectare per year, respectively, which are far beyond the erosion tolerance of 10 tons per hectare per year. The sediment delivery ratio of 0.20 accounts for a total of 126,390 tons of sediments that accumulated downstream in a year.…”
