Canopy Interception for a Tallgrass Prairie under Juniper Encroachment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Rainfall partitioning and redistribution by canopies are important ecohydrological processes underlying ecosystem dynamics. We quantified and contrasted spatial and temporal variations of rainfall redistribution for a juniper (Juniperus virginiana ...

Measuring turfgrass canopy interception and throughfall using co-located pluviometers. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Turfgrass management relies on frequent watering events from natural precipitation or irrigation. However, most irrigation scheduling strategies in turfgrass ignore the magnitude of canopy interception. Interception is the process by which precipitation or irrigation water is intercepted by and evaporated from plant canopies or plant residue.

Modelling canopy and litter interception in commercial forest plantations in South Africa using the Variable Storage Gash model and idealised drying curves [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012 There remains a gap in the knowledge of both canopy and litter interception processes in forest hydrology and limitations in the models used to represent them.

Modelling and measurement of two-layer-canopy interception losses in a subtropical evergreen forest of central-south China [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2006 The original Gash analytical model and the sparse Gash's model were combined to simulate rainfall interception losses from the top- and sub-canopy layers in Shaoshan evergreen forest located in central-south China in 2003.

Characterizing Maritime Snow Canopy Interception in Forested Mountains
Water Resources Research, 2019 Air temperature (Tair) plays an important role in determining how a canopy intercepts snow and apart from event size is the single most important micrometeorological variable found to adequately influence interception rates and magnitude.

Model Construction of Rainfall Interception by Maize Canopy
应用气象学报, 2020 Rainfall is the main water source of crops. Crops maintain their normal growth and development by absorbing water from the soil. However, the role of rainfall is often overestimated in water resource evaluation and farmland water balance research because

Important Airborne Lidar Metrics of Canopy Structure for Estimating Snow Interception
Remote Sensing, 2021 Forest canopies exert significant controls over the spatial distribution of snow cover. Canopy snow interception efficiency is controlled by intrinsic processes (e.g., canopy structure), extrinsic processes (e.g., meteorological conditions), and the ...
