• A micrometeorological flux perspective on brush management in a shrub-encroached Sonoran Desert grassland 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael; Vivoni, Enrique; Scott, Russell; Naito, Adam; Archer, Steven; Biederman, Joel; Templeton, Nicole (2022-02-15)
      Woody plant encroachment typically limits the forage productivity of managed rangelands and alters a panoply of semiarid ecosystem processes and services. Intervention strategies to reduce woody plant abundance, collectively ...
    • Abiotic Mechanisms Drive Enhanced Evaporative Losses under Urban Oasis Conditions 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael; Vivoni, Enrique; Kindler, Mercedes; Wang, Zhaocheng (2020-11-28)
      The oasis effect refers to the impact of advected energy on the surface energy balance leading to enhanced evapotranspiration. In this study, we utilize a 1‐yr record of water, energy, and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes to ...
    • Base de datos de flujos verticales de dioxido de carbono en ecosistemas terrestres y costeros en México

      El dióxido de carbono (CO2) es uno de los principales gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) cuyo incremento en la atmósfera está asociado con el calentamiento global. Con el objetivo de promover estudios de síntesis que lleven ...
    • Hillslope to channel hydrologic connectivity in a dryland ecosystem 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael; Keller, Zachary; Vivoni, Enrique; Kimsal, Charles; Robles Morua, Agustin (2023-11-27)
      Hydrologic connectivity refers to the processes and thresholds leading to water transport across a landscape. In dryland ecosystems, runoff production is mediated by the arrangement of vegetation and bare soil patches on ...
    • Landscape Controls on Water‐Energy‐Carbon Fluxes Across Different Ecosystems During the North American Monsoon 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael (2021-04-28)
      The dependence of arid and semiarid ecosystems on seasonal rainfall is not well understood when sites have access to groundwater. Gradients in terrain conditions in northwest México can help explore this dependence as ...
    • Long‐term research catchments to investigate shrub encroachment in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts: Santa Rita and Jornada experimental ranges 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael; Vivoni, Enrique; Keller, Zachary; Escoto, Eric; Templeton, Ryan; Templeton, Nolie; Anderson, Cody; Schreiner-McGraw, Adam; Mendez-Barroso, Luis; Robles-Morua, Agustin; Scott, Russell; Archer, Steven; Peters, Debra (2021-01-02)
      Woody plant encroachment is a global phenomenon whereby shrubs or trees replace grasses. The hydrological consequences of this ecological shift are of broad interest in ecohydrology, yet little is known of how plant and ...
    • Seasonal carryover of water and effects on carbon dynamics in a dryland ecosystem 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael (2022-07-19)
      Net primary productivity in arid and semiarid regions is controlled by water availability for which rainfall has been a commonly used proxy at annual scales. However, the hydrological partitioning occurring through the ...
    • Urban land cover type determines the sensitivity of carbon dioxide fluxes to precipitation in Phoenix, Arizona 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael (2020-02-12)
      Urbanization modifies land surface characteristics with consequent impacts on local energy, water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes. Despite the disproportionate impact of cities on CO2 emissions, few studies have directly ...
    • Water conservation potential of modified turf grass irrigation in urban parks of Phoenix, Arizona 

      Perez Ruiz, Eli Rafael; Kindler, Mercedes; Vivoni, Enrique; Wang, Zhaocheng (2022-04-28)
      Large amounts of water are consumed by urban parks in arid regions such that efficient irrigation practices are needed. In Phoenix, Arizona, extensive turf grass areas are supported using flood or sprinkler irrigation that ...
