La répartition des précipitations en différentes fractions d’égouttement, écoulement et interception est la première interaction entre le cycle de l’eau et la forêt. Ces fractions ont été évaluées pour une période de trois années successives sous le couvert de Quercus ilex L. dans la chênaie de Hamla dans les Aurès par un dispositif de recueil spécifique pour chaque fraction : sous couvert pour l’égouttement, scellé sur les troncs pour l’écoulement et installé sur un sol nu pour les précipitations. Les résultats ont montré que le taux des précipitations qui arrivent par égouttement se situe en moyenne à 57,4 % des précipitations. L’écoulement ne représente en moyenne qu’une faible fraction (6,7 %) des précipitations. Quant à l’interception, elle est très forte et elle représentait en moyenne 35,8 % des précipitations. La variabilité interannuelle de l’égouttement et de l’interception est importante. Elle est largement dépendante des précipitations journalières incidentes. Les relations entre les précipitations, l’écoulement et l’égouttement dans la station étudiée ont été appréciées par des régressions linéaires qui ont montré de fortes corrélations entre les différentes fractions d’eaux et les précipitations (R2 varie entre 0,74 et 0,99).
Nutrient provisions through precipitation and throughfall represent major factor of the sustainability of the forest ecosystem. Nevertheless, data related to this aspect are non-existent in Algeria. Precipitation and throughfall volumes and their contributions in NPK elements were evaluated between 2012 and 2013, in a green oak coppice at Marconna in Aurès (eastern Algeria). Precipitation volumes were evaluated by the placement of 10 containers in a bare soil. To quantify the throughfall, four containers were installed under the canopy of each tree among 25 selected trees. Water samples taken from previously rinsed plastic bottles with distilled water were kept away from light and transported to the laboratory for volume estimation and chemical analysis, as quickly as possible. After rapid filtration, samples became ready for NPK analysis. Various devices and chemicals were used for the measurements of NPK elements in the laboratory. Kjeldahl's method, colorimetry and flame photometry were used for quantifying total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively. The results showed that annual rainfall amounts varied between 223,9 and 289,6 mm, whereas the annual throughfall was 127,1 mm for 2012 and 189,8 mm for 2013.Besides, the annual quantities of N, P and K returned to the soil by the rainfall ranged from 5,05 to 7,62 kg/ ha/year. However, the throughfall results showed that the coppice accumulated amounts of N, P and K elements varying between 4,08 and 5,47 kg / ha / year. On average, nitrogen was the most provided element. It represented 47,07%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
