Interception losses are described by the following equation. Li = S + KEt. Where, Li is the total volume of water intercepted. S is the interception storage. K is the ratio of the surface area of the leaves to the area of the entire canopy. E is the rate of evaporation during the precipitation event, and. t is time.

Dec 10, 2022 · Evaporative loss of interception (Ei) is the first process occurring during rainfall, yet its role in large-scale surface water balance has been largely underexplored.
Interception loss. The water that is retained by vegetation surfaces that is later evaporated into the atmosphere, or absorbed by the plant. Interception loss prevents water from reaching the ground surface and is regarded as a primary water loss. Throughfall.
(i) Type of Vegetation: Interception varies with the species, its age and density of stands. About 10 to 20% of precipitation occurring in the growing season is intercepted. It is lost substantially by way of evaporation from leaves. In dense tall vegetation interception is quite substantial.
interception loss. that part of the precipitation on the canopy that doesn't reach the ground, because it evaporates from the canopy (canopy interception loss) and from near-ground plants and leaf litter (litter interception loss) or, to a lesser extent, is absorbed by plants. Controls on interception rate, capacity and loss.
May 4, 2016 · Interception loss accounts for a substantial portion of incident precipitation and evapotranspiration in forest ecosystems. Hence, identifying its magnitude is crucial for our understanding of biogeochemical cycling and related hydrological processes.
Feb 10, 2023 · Canopy interception loss is a key process in forest hydrology and the role of interception loss in relation to the forest water budgets and future impact of afforestation on water resources is important to quantify.
