Rainfall interception near a forest edge
Journal of Hydrology, 1996The 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, 1986Abstract 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, 2017Trees 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 ...

Terrestrial laser scanning‐derived canopy interception index for predicting rainfall interception
Ecohydrology, 2020AbstractRainfall 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, 1973A 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.

Interception storage of rainfall by corn plants
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950The 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 ...

Rainfall Interception Loss by Forest Canopies
2011When rain falls onto a forest a proportion is intercepted by the canopy and evaporates back into the atmosphere, playing no further part in the terrestrial portion of the hydrologic cycle. This canopy interception loss, I c, can be appreciable (Table 20.1).

Rainfall interception by eight small trees
Journal of Hydrology, 1979Abstract Interception studies were undertaken on individual plants of selected tree species under a rainfall simulator. The results give insight to the process of interception, provide information on the level of the interception storage of the test species and illustrate the importance of leaf area. Two interception models were tested.

A rainout shelter design for intercepting different amounts of rainfall
Oecologia, 2002Field manipulative experiments represent a straightforward way to explore temporal relationships between annual precipitation and productivity. Water exclusion usually involves the use of rainout shelters, which are in general formed by a complete roof that intercepts 100% of the rainfall and require complicated mechanisms to move the shelter into ...

Interception of rainfall by mature lodgepole‐pine
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1941With increasing demands on available water‐supplies for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use, the central Rocky Mountains have become one of the most important water‐yielding areas in the western United States. Since the water‐producing area of these mountain is largely occupied by national forests, a serious responsibility is borne by the Forest
