H13Q:
Precipitation-Vegetation Interactions: Advances in Interception Loss, Thoughfall, and Stemflow Research II


Session ID#: 10639

Session Description:
It is well established that vegetation canopies modify the volume and chemical composition of precipitation before it takes any further part in the terrestrial hydrologic and biogeochemical cycles. However, much is yet to be learned regarding the meteorological and biophysical processes that determine the fractioning of precipitation into canopy interception loss, throughfall and stemflow in different forest and plant communities, including urban forests, and the quality (e.g., nutrient and pollutant concentrations) of throughfall and stemflow in these areas. Furthermore, issues concerning scaling across time and space still persist. Thus, we invite submissions that examine i) the processes involved in the partitioning of precipitation (rain, snow, fog, etc.) from both hydrologic and biogeochemical perspectives across different temporal and spatial scales, ii) the advances in sampling methodologies and modelling techniques, and iii) the developments in and applications of remote sensing, GIS, spatiotemporal analysis, and other techniques in this field of study.
