“…Based on the few reports available, the characteristics of tropical rain-events are thought to regulate the rate of wet-canopy evaporation (Lloyd, 1990;Asdak et al, 1998;Schellekens et al, 1999;Chappell et al, 2001), transpiration supression (Szarzynski and Anuf, 2001), shallow water-table fluctuations (Bidin et al, 1993), and runoff behaviour (Robinson and Sivapalan, 1997;Bonell et al, 2004). Many studies have also attributed the temporal variation in tropical geomorphic activity to rain-event characteristics, particularly those of large events Morgan, 2004).…”

Abstract:Understanding the intensity and duration of tropical rain events is critical to modelling the rate and timing of wetcanopy evaporation, the suppression of transpiration, the generation of infiltration-excess overland flow and hence to erosion, and to river responsiveness. Despite this central role, few studies have addressed the characteristics of equatorial rainstorms. This study analyses rainfall data for a 5 km 2 region largely comprising of the 4 km 2 Sapat Kalisun Experimental Catchment in the interior of northeastern Borneo at sampling frequencies from 1 min 1 to 1 day1 . The work clearly shows that most rainfall within this inland, forested area is received during regular short-duration events (<15 min) that have a relatively low intensity (i.e. less than two 0Ð2 mm rain-gauge tips in almost all 5 min periods). The rainfall appears localized, with significant losses in intergauge correlations being observable in minutes in the case of the typical mid-afternoon, convective events. This suggests that a dense rain-gauge network, sampled at a high temporal frequency, is required for accurate distributed rainfall-runoff modelling of such small catchments. Observed rain-event intensity is much less than the measured infiltration capacities, and thus supports the tenet of the dominance of quick subsurface responses in controlling river behaviour in this small equatorial catchment.

“…Several studies on the effect of logging on rainfall partitioning yielded the following results. In a lowland mixed Dipterocarp forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, the rainfall interception was 11% of precipitation in a nearby unlogged natural forest and 6% of precipitation in a logged forest (Asdak et al 1998). In another lowland mixed Dipterocarp forest in northern Borneo, (Sabah, Malaysia), 91% of precipitation reached the ground as throughfall in an unlogged natural forest, whereas 80% and 84% of throughfall were recorded in plots of moderately and highly damaged patches of forest (Chappell et al 2001) indicating interception rates increase with disturbance intensity.…”

Abstract. Astiani D, Mujiman, Curran LM. 2017. Trees of tropical peatland forest influence on variability of water and carbon input through stemflow. . Hydrology controls the chemical and biotic processes in peatlands, influencing interactions among vegetation, nutrient dynamics, and carbon fluxes. The effects of forest degradation revealed severe changes in the hydrological cycle such as variability of water input on forest floor, soil water storage and the ability to abstract water from soil depth. A study had been conducted to investigate part of the water cycle, the amount of water and carbon input through stemflow into peatland forest floor for 2 years. Stemflow was measured on 20 trees of each 3 blocks of forest with tree diameter ranging from 10-30 cm dbh using stemflow collectors. Then the trees were grouped to three bark types (smooth, mid, and coarse) to investigate whether it had influenced the inputs. Results showed that with mean annual precipitation of 3282 ± 128mm, annual mean stemflow for the area was 18.2% of the rainfall. Further analysis demonstrated that tree species with smoother bark textures tend to bring more water to forest floor compared to mid and coarse bark textures (46% and 42.5% more than coarse and intermediate consecutively). The carbon input also show similar trend. The results implied that tree species influence the amount of stemflow and significant amount of water could be slower down come to forest floor through this mechanism and protected forest soil.

“…Differences between evaporation characteristics of the various land types have been introduced by using different values of aerodynamic resistance (r a ) and canopy resistance (r c ). The energy available for evaporation from interception (E i,p ) has been calculated assuming zero r c (Asdak et al, 1998). Transpiration from different types of land cover (E t,k , k: land-use type) has been determined assuming different values of r c which for the forest area were multiplied by a calibration parameter α.…”

Abstract. The objective of this paper is to investigate the time variability of catchment characteristics in the Meuse basin through its effect on catchment response. The approach uses a conceptual model to represent rainfall-runoff behaviour of this catchment, and evaluates possible timedependence of model parameters. The main hypothesis is that conceptual model parameters, although not measurable quantities, are representative of specific catchment attributes (e.g. geology, land-use, land management, topography). Hence, we assume that eventual trends in model parameters are representative of catchment attributes that may have changed over time. The available hydrological record involves ninety years of data, starting in 1911. During this period the Meuse catchment has undergone significant modifications. The catchment structural modifications, although documented, are not available as "hard-data". Hence, our results should be considered as "plausible hypotheses". The main motivation of this work is the "anomaly" found in the rainfall runoff behaviour of the Meuse basin, where ninety years of rainfall-runoff simulations show a consistent overestimation of the runoff in the period between 1930 and 1965. Different authors have debated possible causes for the "anomaly", including climatic variability, land-use change and data errors. None of the authors considered the way in which the land is used by for instance agricultural and forestry practises. This aspect influenced the model design, which has been configured to account for different evaporation demand of growing forest. As a result of our analysis, we conclude that the lag time of the catchment has decreased significantly over time, which we attribute to more Correspondence to: F. Fenicia (f.fenicia@tudelft.nl) intensive drainage and river training works. Furthermore, we hypothesise that forest rotation has had a significant impact on the evaporation of the catchment. These results contrast with previous studies, where the effect of land-use change on the hydrological behaviour of the Meuse catchment was considered negligible, mainly because there was not sufficient change in land cover to account for it. Here we hypothesise that in the Meuse it was not the change of land cover that was responsible for hydrological change, but rather the way the land was managed.
