Abstract Ecological restoration (ER) programs play an important role in local and global climate change carbon management policy interventions. Water resource is a key criterion for assessing the sustainability of ERs. Herein, we explored spatiotemporal patterns rainfall interception (RI, component ecosystem water budgets), its drivers after ER implementation China. Further, assessed whether ER...

Given the importance of vegetation cover for hydric balance, present paper aimed to analyze pluviometric dynamics net precipitation and interception process, in forested hillslope Tijuca National Park. The influence by a set independents variables given hydrometeorological (rainfall volume intensity drought context) was discussed face temporal modulation precipitation, coupled spatial compariso...

The aims of this study were to assess the potential radioactive contamination of fodder in the case of accidental radionuclide fallout, and to analyse the relationship between interception and retention of radionuclides as a function of biomass and Leaf Area Index (LAI). The interception and the retention of wet deposited (134)Cs and (85)Sr in ley (a mixture of grass and clover) were measured a...

It is known that at the event scale, evaporation losses of rainfall intercepted by canopy are a few millimeters, which often not much in comparison to other stocks water balance. Nevertheless, yearly number times filled and then depleted can be so large interception flux may become an important fraction rainfall. Many accurate models describe wet have been proposed. However, they require parame...
