Recent global decline in rainfall interception loss due to altered rainfall regimes. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 AbstractEvaporative loss of interception (Ei) is the first process occurring during rainfall, yet its role in large-scale surface water balance has been largely underexplored. Here we show thatEican be inferred from flux tower evapotranspiration measurements using physics-informed hybrid machine learning models built under wet versus dry conditions ...

Evaluation of Rainfall Interception by Vegetation Using a Rainfall Simulator [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Interception by vegetation is one of the main variables controlling hydrological and geo-environmental problems such as erosion, landslides and floods. Interception, along with precipitation and evapotranspiration, is required for the modeling of infiltration, percolation and runoff.

Rainfall Interception by Plants [PDF]
Nature, 1926 THE major part of the ‘interception gain’ found by Mr. Phillips in his experiments at Deepwalls, described in NATURE of Dec. 11, p. 837, is no doubt due to the screen catching rain which would otherwise have fallen on the lee side of the gauge. This would become negligible if a large area were covered by a comparatively close network of screens, except

Rainfall Interception by Cool-Desert Shrubs [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1976 Highlight: Interception patterns of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) and shadscale (Atriplex confertifolia (Torr.) Wats.) were measured under two simulated rainfall intensities during three different seasons, Mean rainfall interception rate of individual plants of both species was 0.1.5 cm when averaged over all sampling dates and rainfall ...

Integrated model for the hydro-mechanical effects of vegetation against shallow landslides [PDF]
, 2014 Shallow landslides are instability events that lead to dramatic soil mass wasting in sloping areas and are commonly triggered by intense rainfall episodes.

A comparison of three canopy interception models for a leafless mixed deciduous forest stand in the eastern United States [PDF]
, 2007 Canopy interception of incident precipitation is a critical component of the forest water balance during each of the four seasons. Models have been developed to predict precipitation interception from standard meteorological variables because of ...

Predicting Water Cycle Characteristics from Percolation Theory and Observational Data. [PDF]
, 2020 The fate of water and water-soluble toxic wastes in the subsurface is of high importance for many scientific and practical applications. Although solute transport is proportional to water flow rates, theoretical and experimental studies show that heavy ...

The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]
, 2013 In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Investigation of the concentration and isotopic composition of inputs and outputs of Pb in waters at an upland catchment in NE Scotland [PDF]
, 2005 As a consequence of the accumulation of anthropogenic Pb in upland catchments, there has been much recent concern about the potential mobilisation and transport of Pb from the soils to receiving waters and also the possible harmful effects that this ...
