Modelling rainfall interception loss in forest restoration trials in Panama

Ecohydrology, 2010
AbstractA modified Liu analytical model of rainfall interception (Ic) by tree canopies was evaluated using rainfall, throughfall and stemflow data collected from forest restoration trials in the Republic of Panama. The model uses an introduced approach to estimating the water storage capacities of tree boles, which has a more realistic physical basis ...

Comparisons of Interception Loss from Tropical and Temperate Vegetation Canopies

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1982
Abstract A multilayer crop model is used to investigate interception loss from oak, pine, wheat and grass canopies. It is shown that the evaporative properties of the full oak canopy are similar to those of the evergreen tropical rain forest. Evaporation from all the wet canopies is shown to be similar at low wind speeds but the loss from the tree ...

Measuring and modelling the rainfall interception loss by hedgerows in southern England

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2006
Gross rainfall (PG), net rainfall and stemflow were measured for nearly 3 years in two hedgerows in southern England. The width of the zone where net rainfall was affected by the hedgerows was equivalent to about two hedgerow heights. Rainfall interception was calculated as the difference between the volume of water, from gross rainfall, that would ...

Rainfall interception loss by pebble mulch in the semiarid region of China

Journal of Hydrology, 2000
Abstract Pebble mulches have been used to conserve soil moisture in the semiarid regions of China for over 300 years. However, little work has been carried out on rainfall interception loss by a pebble mulch layer. A field study was conducted to measure interception loss by pebble mulches during individual rainfall events, determine the rainfall ...

Simulating Interception Loss Using Standard Meteorological Data

1985
A model was derived to calculate interception loss from a forest canopy on the basis of thrice daily observations of air temperature and relative humidity, daily means of wind run, daily totals of precipitation and the number of rainy hours and of bright sunshine.

Modelling rainfall interception losses of three plantations in the Loess Plateau

Hydrological Processes
AbstractThe forest canopy affects the water entering the forest ecosystem by intercepting rainfall. This is especially pertinent in forests that depend on rainfall for their ecological water needs, quantifying and simulating interception losses provide critical insights into their ecological hydrological processes.

Discussion of paper by Robert A. Merriam, “A note on the interception loss equation”

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1961
Merriam [1960] is undoubtedly correct in stating that application of the exponential factor to the evaporation portion of equation 3 seems open to question, but the rate of evaporation is dependent upon the amount of water in storage. Equations 4 and 6 are therefore reasonable when the rainfall intensity is large compared with the rate of evaporation ...
