Variations in canopy and litter interception across a forest chronosequence in the southern Appalachian Mountains
This article is part of a larger document. View the larger document here.Abstract
Variations in evapotranspiration (ET) have been well documented across a variety of forest types and climates in recent decades; however, most of these data have focused on mature, secondgrowth stands. Here we present data on two important fluxes of water, canopy interception (Ic) and forest floor litter interception (Iff), across a chronosequence of forest age in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
