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.

Simulation of Gash Model to Rainfall Interception of Pinus tabulaeformis

Forest Systems, 2014
Aim of study: In order to test the adaptability of revised Gash analytical model to canopy interception of Pinus tabulaeformis plantation, determine local parameters in the model, and analyze the sensitivity of the parameters to the simulated ...

Analysis and simulation of interception characteristics of broad-leaved forest canopy based on parameter optimization: Dianchi basin case

Ecological Indicators
The redistribution effect of the canopy precipitation interception is a critical component of the water cycle and water balance in basin ecosystem. However, traditional canopy interception models often fail to fully consider the reasonableness of model ...

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

Field data collection and analysis of canopy and litter interception in commercial forest plantations in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012
It is well accepted that the total evaporation in forested areas is greater than in grasslands, largely due to the differences in the amount of rainfall that is intercepted by the forest canopy and litter and due to higher transpiration rates.

Interactions between Diffuse Light and Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Canopy Structure, Simulations of Light Interception in Virtual Canopies

Agronomy, 2022
Plant photosynthesis and biomass production are associated with the amount of intercepted light, especially the light distribution inside the canopy.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

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.

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
