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...

Crown structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of two species mixtures in the central Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Garber, Sean M.

Abstract:

Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...
