1 Interception Conceptual basis Importance Definition Canopy water balance Measurement Modeling T. Giambelluca GEOG 405 University of Hawai i at Mānoa Conceptual Basis Before reaching the soil, much of the water input from precipitation, fog, and some forms of irrigation is first intercepted by vegetation Water evaporated directly from wet vegetation during an event and the water remaining on vegetation after an event does not reach the soil, but is lost to the atmosphere instead Water reaches the soil by free throughfall, dripping off wet leaves and branches, and by running down the stems (stem flow). Leaf litter adds another interception layer Importance Interception reduces amount of water reaching soil Wetting of leaves inhibits transpiration Evaporation from wet canopy usually significantly greater than dry-canopy transpiration Overall ET can be significantly higher as a result of interception In some environments, interception accounts for a large proportion of total ET 1
2 Definition R = P I R = P (C + L) R = (T + S L) I = P R = P (T + S L) P = gross rainfall R = net rainfall entering soil I = total interception C = canopy interception L = litter interception T = throughfall S = stemflow Canopy Water Balance Measuring Throughfall Measuring Throughfall 2
3 Measuring Stemflow Modeling Interception Interception Importance For many plant species, transpiration is near zero when leaves are wet Wet canopy evaporation tends to be higher than transpiration Interception process can dominate the variability in evapotranspiration, as we found at a native forest site in Hawai i Volcanoes National Park Some plants may be capable of gas exchange, including transpiration, under wet canopy conditions, perhaps giving them a competitive advantage in photosynthesis Field Sites Invaded Forest Site ohia forest invaded by Psidium cattleianum (strawberry guava) Native Forest Site Metrosideros polymorpha ( ohia) Cibotium spp. (hapu u; tree fern) 3

RAINFALL LE maxima and minima match rainfall match rainfall maxima and minima Wet-canopy evaporation controls departures in LE fraction from the LAIrelated annual cycle 4
