The influence of canopy structure and epiphytes on the hydrology of Douglas-fir forests

Creator:

Pypker, Thomas G.

Abstract:

Canopy structure has a significant impact on the canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall interception was measured for young Douglas-fir forest and compared to an old-growth Douglas-fir forest. The old-growth forest had significantly greater canopy water storage capacity (5) and direct throughfall fraction...

canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall
Inter-relationships of vegetation, hydrology and micro-climate in a young, Douglas-fir forest

Creator:

Barnard, Holly Rene

Abstract:

The links between forests, streamflow, and climate are poorly understood. Despite hundreds of studies over the past 60 years, fundamental questions of forests' effects on the hydrologic cycle remain unanswered. The hydrological cycle involves mutually-dependent biological and physical processes that operate at multiple scales of time and space, and this...
