Abstract

Forest stand structure plays an important role in rainfall interception and is a focal point in forest hydrology. Previous studies mainly looked at the effect of non-spatial attributes of stands while a few studies addressed the influence of spatial features. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of stand structure on rainfall partitioning using diameter, height, leaf area index (LAI), neighbourhood comparison, mingling index and uniform angle index. The results revealed that the average accumulative throughfall, stemflow and interception loss accounted for 72.8%–83.2%, 0.5%–11.3% and 13.3%–26.2% of total precipitation, respectively, and significant differences existed in rainfall partitioning. The accumulative interception loss was negatively related to uniform angle index (a measure of tree spatial distribution patterns) as stand structure attribute was not available at each rainfall event. The effects of stand structure on throughfall, stemflow and interception loss varies considerably under...

华南山地林分非空间和空间结构对降雨分配的量化影响

林分结构在降雨截流中起着重要作用，是森林水文研究的焦点。以往的研究主要关注林分非空间属性的影响，而空间特征的影响研究较少。本研究旨在利用林分直径、高度、叶面积指数(LAI)、邻域比较、混合指数和均匀角指数来量化林分结构对降雨分配的影响。结果表明:平均累积雨量、茎流和截流损失分别占总降水量的72.8% ~ 83.2%、0.5% ~ 11.3%和13.3% ~ 26.2%，降雨分配存在显著差异;累积截留损失与均匀角度指数(树木空间分布格局的衡量指标)呈负相关，因为林分结构属性在每个降雨事件中都不存在。不同林分结构对林分通流、茎流和截留损失的影响差异较大。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
