Modeling the Impact of Canopy Structure on the Spatial Variability of Net Forest Precipitation and Interception Loss in Scots Pine Stands
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to identify the most significant stand parameters affecting net forest precipitation and interception loss in Scots pine stands and to develop multiple linear regression models (MLR) that can be used for practical purposes to predict net forest precipitation and interception rates in northern Germany using forest inventory data and gross precipitation. In the model, the forest canopy is characterized by four parameters: mean tree height, diameter at breast height, number of stems and canopy cover fraction. The meteorological input is only annual gross precipitation.

Measurements and modeling of throughfall variability for five forest communities in the southeastern US
The temporal variability of interception losses was measured for contrasting forest communities in the southeastern United States. Throughfall was measured simultaneously at Fort Benning in western Georgia for the five forest communities that are characteristic of the region. The measured interception losses over the study period were 22.3, 18.6, 17.7, 17.6, and 17.4% of the total precipitation...

To investigate spatial variability of soil characteristics in the most valuble forest stands in the northern Iran using geostatistical approach, a twenty hectare area in Experimental Forest Station of Tarbiat Modares University was considered. Soil samples were taken from pits, mounds, canopy gaps, under single trees and closed canopy positions at 0 - 15, 15 - 30 and 30 - 45 cm depths using cor...
متن کاملForestry and water budget of the lowlands in northeast Germany – consequences for the choice of tree species and for forest management
The lowlands in northeast Germany are among the driest and at the same time the most densely wooded regions in Germany. Low annual precipitation between 500 and 600 mm and the light sandy soils with their low water storage capacity and high porosity lead to limited water availability. Therefore the hydrological functions of forests play an important role in the fields of regional water budget, ...

Risks assessment of forest project implementation in spatial density changes of forest under canopy vegetation using artificial neural network modeling approach Nowadays, environmental risk assessment has been defined as one of the effective in environmental planning and policy making. Considering the position and structure of vegetation on the forest floor, the main role of forest under ca...
متن کاملToward a Robust Canopy Hydrology Scheme with Precipitation Subgrid Variability
Representation of the canopy hydrological processes has been challenging in land surface modeling due to the subgrid heterogeneity in both precipitation and surface characteristics. The Shuttleworth dynamic– statistical method is widely used to represent the impact of the precipitation subgrid variability on canopy hydrological processes but shows unwanted sensitivity to temporal resolution whe...
