Leaf Area Index Analysis on Eco-hydrological Effects of Bamboo Forest Canopy

Jiayang Zhang

Abstract

Distribution of time and space of leaf area index(LAI)in different months and its influence on canopy interception,throughfall and stemfall were observed and studied.The results showed that LAI was increasing from February to August,LAI was reducing from September to January,LAI maximal value(7.5)in August,LAI minimal value(3.1)in February.In every month canopy interception and stemfall had positive relevance to LAI,throughfall had negative relevance to LAI.Fllowing LAI increasing,canopy interception and stemfall increased slowly while rainfall was small,canopy interception and stemfall increased fast while rainfall and its intensity was large.
