“…Rainfall partition that passing through tree canopies can be broken down into throughfall (TF), stemflow (SF), and interception loss (I) which have very significant effect on water balance and nutrient cycle. Kaushal et al (2017) state that during the study period they conducted, there was 30 rainfall events identified in 2014 and 25 events in 2015 with delivered a total rain of 685.1 mm and 467.9 mm, respectively in the two consecutive years. Average TF ranged from 80.8% in lopping to 85.1% in coppicing.…”

Abstract. Nasution Y, Rasyidin A, Yulnafatmawita, Saidi A. 2019. Evaluation of Salacca sumatrana as soil conservation crop in South Tapanuli, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 664-670. Salacca sumatrana Becc (snake fruit; or ‘Salak' in local name) is a profitable commodity. Morphologically, it is characterized by low, wide canopy that is potential intercept rainfall, while its roots are able to withstand soil erosion. This study is aimed to evaluate one variety of S. sumatrana named ‘salak sidimpuan" as commodity crop soil conservation based on its capability to intercept rain and trap soil sediment in the catchment area of S. sumatrana field. The research was conducted on mineral soils at West Angkola Sub-district, South Tapanuli District, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia with an altitude of 350-880 m above sea level. The study was carried out from October 2016 until March 2017 using survey method to calculate on rainfall interception, stemflow and throughfall while measurement of sediment used evaporation method. Statistical analysis was used to observe the difference of sediment trapped on the catchment area of S. sumatrana agroforest and the catchment area of mixed forest using Mann-Whitney Test. The results show that rainfall interception on S. sumatrana agroforest is 74.33% of the average rainfall while the Mann-Whitney Test Sig (2-tailed) is 0.000, indicating significant difference in trapping soil sediment between S. sumatrana agroforest and mixed forest. The amount of soil erosion on the catchment of S. sumatrana agroforest is 15.12 ton/ha/year while the erosion on mixed forest is 194.85 ton/ha/year. Thus S. sumatrana plant is capable to withstand rain interception with the result that soil erosion can be held in the catchment area of S. sumatrana agroforest. Instead of the calculation rain interception and soil erosion, then S sumatrana is classified as a soil conservation crop.

“…La morera alcanza la máxima producción en el tercer año, de acuerdo con lo anterior y, teniendo en cuenta que la inoculación se hace una única vez en todo el ciclo de vida de la morera (15 años), al proyectar el rendimiento de hoja y costos de fertilización e inoculación desde el año uno hasta el tercer año, se obtiene que si el T3 continua con 58,9% más de rendimiento respecto a T0, este permitirá criar hasta 36,1 cajas de gusano de seda al año, con 0,37% menos costos que el testigo para cuando el cultivo se encuentre en plena producción, es decir al tercer año de establecida [17].…”

La investigación se realizó en La Sultana y El Madroño de los municipios de Timbio y El Tambo respectivamente, con el fin de evaluar el efecto del abono orgánico líquido mineralizado en el cultivo de morera con el propósito de analizar costos de producción, mejorar el rendimiento y hacer una agricultura amigable con el ambiente. En La Sultana la evaluación se realizó en el primer corte y en El madroño en el tercer corte. En las dos fincas se usó un diseño en bloques completos al azar con siete tratamientos y tres repeticiones. La morera, en las dos fincas, se fertilizó cinco veces de acuerdo al tratamiento con aplicaciones alternas edáfica/foliar cada quince días; se evaluó altura de planta, biomasa, peso de hojas, peso de tallos, relación peso hojas/peso tallos, rendimiento de hojas y calidad nutricional de las hojas, se realizó análisis de varianza y prueba de comparación de promedios de Duncan (P=0,005), en La sultana no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los tratamientos, el mejor tratamiento fue la aplicación de A.L.O.F.A. al 5%, mientras que en El Madroño los tratamientos si presentaron diferencia estadísticamente significativa en las variables evaluadas y el mejor tratamiento fue la inoculación con IM y A.L.O.F.A. al 5%.

“…Canopy interception loss plays an important role in rainfall redistribution, nutrient cycling, and soil and water conservation. The leaves of a forest canopy trap part of the precipitation and reduce the driving force of raindrops, thus weakening the direct impact of rainfall on surface soil effectively reducing erosion and loss of soil nutrients (Kaushal et al, 2017; Wei et al, 2005; Zhou et al, 2002). Canopy interception loss is also an important branch of stand water consumption (Wallace & McJannet, 2008; Wang et al, 2011).…”

Canopy interception loss is an important hydrological process that affects rainfall redistribution, nutrient cycling, and soil and water conservation in forest ecosystems. However, the manner in which interception loss is affected in forests that are in restoration stages dominated by different tree species has not been fully understood. In this study, interception loss, throughfall, and stemflow were measured consecutively for 2 years (May 2017 through April 2019) in three secondary forests in subtropical China: a coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest (Pinus massoniana, Lithocarpus glaber, PM) in early restoration stage, a deciduous broadleaved forest (Choerospondias axillaris, CA) in middle restoration stage, and an evergreen broadleaved forest (L. glaber–Cyclobalanopsis glauca, LG) in late restoration stage. For a given amount of rainfall, the relative interception loss in the CA was significantly lower than that in the evergreen forests in summer, spring, or winter. The amount of interception loss during light rain, moderate rain, or heavy storms was also significantly lower in CA as compared to that in evergreen forests, owing to the lesser leaf area and phenology of deciduous tree species as well as a higher leaf area index (LAI) and stand density in PM and LG. Meanwhile, the highest relative interception loss, interception loss amount, canopy storage capacity, canopy cover fraction, and mean evaporation rate was observed in the climax forest (LG), which has a higher LAI and stand density. Further, the revised Gash's analytical model (RGAM) and the sparse Rutter models were successfully applied to simulate interception loss in these forests, with the RGAM performing better as compared to the sparse Rutter model. The results of the field measurements and model simulations depict that the climax community at the late restoration stage can effectively reduce the amount of rainwater reaching the soil surface, thus weakening the effect of flood peaks.
