| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Rainfall interception within forest stands was investigated through meteorologic stations and throughfall and stemflow recorders. Three separate forest covers were selected: coastal hemlock and spruce, douglas fir, and subalpine lodgepole pine and engelmann spruce. For the Upper Penticton Creek watershed, results found that the weather regime largely influenced the amount of rainfall lost to interception (12% of rainfall is lost). evaporation, water balance, forest management |
