Throughfall, stemflow and interception loss of artificial tropical forest
2012 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering (CHUSER), 2012An interception study of man-made forest was carried out in Bukit Lagong Reserved Forest. Out of 18 rainfall event recorded, all 18 events produce throughfall but only 15 events with measured stemflow. Two plots of 20m × 20m each were established to measure the distribution of interception (gross rainfall, P g , throughfall, T f and stemflow, S f ...

Light Interception as a Yield‐Loss Prediction Tool for Defoliation‐Induced Yield Loss in Soybean
Crop Management, 2011Predicting yield loss from defoliating agents such as insects, diseases, and hail is an important objective for commercial soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production. Because of its association with canopy photosynthetic rate, light interception has potential use as a yield‐loss prediction tool for defoliation‐induced yield loss.

Interception losses of rainfall from Cashew trees
Journal of Hydrology, 1987Abstract The rainfall interception losses from Cashew trees were quantified, based on the records of 105 selected storms within the range ⩽ 25.0 mm, occurring in a humid tropical region at Kottamparamba, India. The storage capacity of the Cashew trees was worked out as 0.8 mm and the throughfall coefficient as 0.391. The trees under observation were

Characteristics of canopy interception loss in Moso bamboo forests of Japan
Hydrological Processes, 2012AbstractIn recent years, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests have rapidly expanded in Japan by replacing surrounding coniferous and/or broadleaved forests. To evaluate the change in water yield from forested areas because of this replacement, it is necessary to examine evapotranspiration for Moso bamboo forests.

Modelling rainfall interception loss in forest restoration trials in Panama
Ecohydrology, 2010AbstractA 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 ...

Rainfall interception loss by pebble mulch in the semiarid region of China
Journal of Hydrology, 2000Abstract 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 ...

Comparisons of Interception Loss from Tropical and Temperate Vegetation Canopies
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1982Abstract 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, 2006Gross 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 ...

Simulating Interception Loss Using Standard Meteorological Data
1985A 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 ProcessesAbstractThe 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.
