this research was carried out in a reforest at shirvanagriculturecollegein two years (2005-2007). the aim of this research was to determine of canopy interception loss, throughfall and stemflow. four trees species were used including pinus nigra, cupressus sempervirens, robinia pseudacacia and platanus orientalis with three replications. the results showed that the amount of canopy interception...

The water balance and hydrochemistry of precipitation components in Acacia tortilis and Chlorophospermum mopane forests in the arid zone of Rajasthan, India, were studied for four years (1993-1996). Rainfall and throughfall were measured for each rainfall event during the monsoon season (June-September) using an automatic raingauge and 96 graduated containers, respectively. Stemflow was measure...

The study deals with the evaluation of the impact of heavy metal pollution on a Mediterranean natural ecosystem, and presents the results derived from a monitoring of heavy metals in different environmental matrixes (atmospheric dry depositions, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and stemflow of forest trees). Two sites in Castelporziano Presidential Estate (Rome), one internal and one near the...

The interception and redirection of rainfall by vegetation has implications for many fields such as remote sensing of soil moisture, satellite observation of rainfall, and the modeling of runoff, climate, and soil erosion. Although the modeling of rainfall partitioning by forests has received attention in the past, partitioning caused by crops has been overlooked. The present work proposes a tw...

Given that atmospheric deposition is the first source of nutrient input into forest ecosystems, and precipitation partition serves as a nutritional mainly when there an interaction with canopy, objective present study was to quantify nutrients rainfall, throughfall stemflow in Eucalyptus urophylla stands partial exclusion (E) without (WE) throughfall. The experiment conducted northeast state Pa...

BACKGROUND The hydrological cycle is an important way of transportation and reallocation of reactive nitrogen (N) in forest ecosystems. However, under a high level of atmospheric N deposition, the N distribution and cycling through water flows in forest ecosystems especially in bamboo ecosystems are not well understood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In order to investigate N fluxes through w...

Monoculture forests formed by Fagus sylvatica L. belong to one of the most sensitive forest ecosystems, mainly at low altitudes. Cultivation this species in mixed stands should reduce its sensitivity drought vegetation period, which is why we researched water balance pure-beech (i.e., monoculture) and beech–oak–linden mixed) forest. This research was carried out Drahanská vrchovina Czech Republ...
