Can Urban Trees Reduce the Impact of Climate Change on Storm Runoff? [PDF]

Urbani Izziv, 2015
The process of urbanisation leads to significant changes in surface cover, which influence the hydrological properties of an area. The infiltration of precipitation into the soil is reduced, so that both surface water runoff and the velocity at which ...

Estimating Rainfall Interception of Vegetation Canopy from MODIS Imageries in Southern China

Remote Sensing, 2019
The interception of rainfall by vegetation canopies plays an important role in the hydrologic process of ecosystems. Most estimates of canopy rainfall interception in present studies are mainly through field observations at the plot region.

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 ...

Rainfall interception using the revised Gash analytical model for Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica in a semi-humid region of NE China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Rainfall loss by canopy interception comprises a substantial portion of the water budget in forested ecosystems, and accurately measuring and simulating this process is critical for the effective management of forest water resources. Pinus sylvestris var.

Effects of canopy characteristics and rainfall intensity on canopy water storage: A simulated rainfall study on the broadleaf and needleleaf species in subtropical China

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Jiangxi Province, China Study focus: Canopy interception is influenced by both structural and rainfall characteristics. yet, the relative contributions remain unclear due to their complex interactions. A process-based experimental study was

Study on hydrological functions of litter layers in North China.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Canopy interception, throughfall, stemflow, and runoff have received considerable attention during the study of water balance and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems. Past research has either neglected or underestimated the role of hydrological

Consideration of vegetation interception of rainfall within the SCS-CN model: Application to the west bank of Dianchi Lake

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: The west bank of Dianchi Lake, China. Study focus: The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model is widely used to simulate rainfall runoff of mountain floods. The determination of the CN parameter within the SCS-CN model is key

Shrub tundra ecohydrology: rainfall interception is a major component of the water balance

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
As shrubs expand across the Arctic, they alter all cycles in the Earth system, including the water cycle. However, the coupling of shrubs with the water cycle during summer remains poorly understood.
