Trickle-down ecohydrology : complexity of rainfall interception and net precipitation under forest canopies

Creator:

Allen, Scott T.

Abstract:

Rainfall interception is a primary control over the moisture input to a forested ecosystem through the partitioning of precipitation into throughfall, stemflow, and an evaporated component (i.e. the interception loss). Rainfall interception is a spatially and temporally varying process at multiple scales, but heterogeneity in interception processes are poorly understood...

Drivers of variability in transpiration and implications for stream flow in forests of western Oregon

Creator:

Moore, Georgianne W.

Abstract:

I compared transpiration among different types of forest stands in the western Cascades of Oregon. The three major questions were: 1) How does transpiration compare between a young and old stand and why? 2) Does diversity of overstory trees affect transpiration? and 3) How is transpiration related to stream flow?...
