Canopy Interception Ability of Different Types of Garden Plant Communities
[Objective] The canopy interception ability of different types of garden plant communities was determined in order to provide a theoretical basis for selecting the plant community with the best canopy interception effect.[Methods] We selected seven plant communities with different structures
and measured actual throughfall and stem flow. We used the water balance method to obtain canopy interception.[Results] The greatest canopy interception rate (49.86%) was observed for a single-layer coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest. The lowest interception rate (23.66%) was observed for a single-layer broad-leaved shrub canopy. The throughfall
stem flow
and the canopy interception were linearly and positively correlated with rainfall amount (R2 of about 0.9). Leaf area index
canopy closure
canopy thickness
green coverage area
and three-dimensional green quantity were negatively correlated with penetration rate
and positively correlated with interception rate.[Conclusion] The canopy of a garden plant community has the ability to retain rainwater
and different types of communities have different abilities. The interception rate of the single-layer broadleaved shrub canopy was the lowest
and that of the single-layer coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest was the greatest. Greater leaf area index and canopy density
thicker canopy
larger green cover area and three-dimensional green quantity all lead to greater canopy interception capacity of a garden plant community.
