Rainfall Interception by Sacramento's Urban Forest

A one-dimensional mass and energy balance model was developed to simulate rainfall interception in Sacramento County, California. The model describes tree interception processes: gross precipitation, leaf drip, stem flow, and evaporation. Kriging was used to extend existing meteorological point data over the region. Regional land use/ land cover and tree canopy cover were parameterized with dat...

A Spatio-Temporal Analysis on the forest Fire Occurrence in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Fire is a disaster that causes adverse effects to forests, ecosystems and human life in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Enhancing technologies that monitor fires could reduce the occurrence of these disasters. In order to develop a robust fire monitoring system, a deep understanding of fire behaviour is needed. This study focuses on the investigation of spatial and temporal factors influencing f...

Quantifying Rainfall Interception Loss of a Subtropical Broadleaved Forest in Central Taiwan

The factors controlling seasonal rainfall interception loss are investigated by using a double-mass curve analysis, based on direct measurements of high-temporal resolution gross rainfall, throughfall and stemflow from 43 rainfall events that occurred in central Taiwan from April 2008 to April 2009. The canopy water storage capacity for the wet season was estimated to be 1.86 mm, about twice th...
