RAINFALL INTERCEPTION BY CORN AND SOYBEAN RESIDUE

Transactions of the ASAE, 1990
ABSTRACT Laboratory rainfall simulation experiments were conducted to determine rainfall interception by corn and soybean residue. Rainfall intensities of 25.4, 63.5, and 127 mm/hr for durations up to 60 min were applied to 54 replications of residue.

A stochastic model of rainfall interception

Journal of Hydrology, 1986
Abstract A stochastic model of rainfall interception is proposed which relates, via the Poisson probability distribution, the mean number of raindrops retained on elemental surface areas to the mean number of raindrop strikes per element. The model provides a rational explanation of the observation that canopies wet up in a gradual, asymptotic manner.

Plant Residue Impact on Rainfall Interception

Transactions of the ASAE, 1994
Rainfall interception by different amounts of corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max L.), and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) residue was studied under simulated rainfall. Given the same amount of residue mass, winter wheat residue intercepts significantly more rainfall than corn and soybean residue.

Rainfall interception near a forest edge

Journal of Hydrology, 1996
The process of interception is studied by comparing observations of net rainfall near a wind exposed forest edge with simulations of evaporation from a wet canopy. The simulations show a strong enhancement of the evaporation rate from the wet forest canopy near the upwind edge.

Interception of rainfall in a hedgerow apple orchard

Journal of Hydrology, 1986
Abstract Measurements of incident rainfall for an orchard, and throughfall and stemflow under the crowns of apple trees are presented for a 3-month period. The variability of throughfall under a single tree and between trees is assessed and equations to estimate interception loss, throughfall and stemflow from incident rainfall are given.

Modelling rainfall interception by urban trees

Canadian Water Resources Journal / Revue canadienne des ressources hydriques, 2017
Trees in the urban environment have significant effects on the hydrological cycle by aiding in the reduction of stormwater runoff through rainfall interception. Factors such as wind exposure, relative humidity and leaf area index in the urban environment differ from those in a forest and affect the processes occurring within the canopy of conifers and ...

Interception storage of rainfall by corn plants

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950
The processes resulting in interception and interception storage of rainfall by corn plants are discussed and terms defined. Values for two components of interception storage on mature corn plants have been determined under several conditions. The dominant factor affecting the value for residual interception storage on mature corn is the plant ...

Terrestrial laser scanning‐derived canopy interception index for predicting rainfall interception

Ecohydrology, 2020
AbstractRainfall interception (RI) by forest canopies is an important process in hydrological cycling in forest ecosystems. However, accurately predicting RI is a challenging topic. In this study, a dimensionless descriptor, canopy interception index (CII), for predicting RI was defined.

RAINFALL INTERCEPTION IN MIXED GRASS PRAIRIE

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1973
A model has been built that permits calculation of both gross and net interception loss from mixed grass prairie. This model has been applied to two complete growing seasons for which the net interception losses were calculated to be 14 and 22%. Under arid conditions losses may be significant, particularly when much dead vegetation is present.
