Ochlerotatus triseriatus, the eastern treehole mosquito, reaches its northernmost range limit in the extreme southeast of Canada. As a known vector of West Nile and La Crosse encephalitis viruses and a potential vector of eastern equine encephalitis, its population biology is of interest. In southern Ontario, high larval densities occur in urban woodlots within sugar maple and American beech tr...

MUNISHI, P. K. T. & SHEAR, T. H. 2005. RainfaU interception and partitioning in afromontane rain forests of the Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania: implications for water conservation. The aboveground components of the hydrologic cycle of rain forest are important processes that determine the hydrologic hehavioiir and dynamics of these ecosystems. Precipitation, throughfall, stem flow, canopy inte...

Forest filtering is a well-known and efficient method for diminishing atmospheric pollutant (such as SO42- and Cl-) inputs to soil and water; however, the filtering efficiencies of forests vary depending on the regional vegetation and climate. The rainy area of West China has suffered from heavy rainfall and human activity, which has potentially resulted in large amounts of sulfur and chlorine ...

The energy of sprinkler irrigation drops splashing on the soil surface or crop canopy depends their size and velocity. kinetic is a major factor degrading surface. effect growing maize drop dissipation water partitioning was analyzed. A field experiment performed solid-set irrigated plot cropped with maize. Measurements were at different locations heights into layout. Tests five heights. At eac...

Abstract General weather conditions may have a strong influence on the individual elements of hydrological cycle, an important part which is rainfall interception. The general this process was analysed, evaluating separately various variables throughfall, stemflow, and interception for wet (2014), dry (2015), average (2016) year. analysed data were measured case birch pine trees at study site i...

Woody encroachment due to changes in climate or in the disturbance regimes (fire and herbivory) has been observed throughout the savannah biome over the last century with ecological, hydrological and socioeconomic consequences. We assessed changes in tree density and basal area and estimated changes in rain interception by the canopies across a 5-year period over a biomass gradient in Cerrado v...

Evaporation losses from a watertight 6.34 ha rain forest catchment under wet maritime tropical conditions in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico, were determined using complementary hydrological and micrometeorological techniques during 1996 and 1997. At 6.6 mm d−1 for 1996 and 6.0 mm d−1 for 1997, the average evapotranspiration (ET ) of the forest is exceptionally high. Rainfall inte...
