黄土高原农牧交错带人工乔灌木林冠截留

A 2-year investigation was made on the characteristics of canopy interception of Pinus tabulaeformis,Robinia pseudoacacia,Caragana korshinskii,and Salix psammophila plantations in the Liudaogou watershed in a farming-pastoral zone of Loess Plateau.The canopy interception and the throughfall of the four plantations had significant positive correlations with precipitation,and the canopy interception could be expressed as a power function of precipitation.The average interception of the plantations was 16.7% f...
