Routing of canopy drip in the snowpack below a spruce crown

Abstract: Snow that is retained by a forest canopy may either sublimate or evaporate directly from the crown or drop as snow clumps or meltwater to the ground. Redistributed snow and meltwater aect the snow structure and prevent the formation of mechanically weak layers, which is the prerequisite for avalanche formation in forests. In this paper we describe the results of dye tracer experiments conducted in a subalpine forest near Davos, Switzerland. Before a snowfall event we stained snow-free branches of a spruce with… Show more

“…Powder avalanches usually unload in frequent small portions on slopes steeper than 458. In forests, the snow often falls in clumps from tree crowns to the ground, thereby affecting the snow structure and preventing the formation of mechanically weak layers, which is a prerequisite for avalanche formation (Bründl et al, 1999). Altogether forests are considered to offer excellent protection against avalanche release (Schneebeli and Meyer-Grass, 1992;Ammann, 2000;Schönenberger and Brang, 2004).…”

“…Most studies of winter stemflow and throughfall drainage in northern latitudes have focused on evergreen conifers (e.g., Lundberg et al 1998;Brundl et al 1999). An exception was Neary and Gizyn (1994) who compared stemflow and throughfall chemistry in both high latitude broadleaved deciduous and evergreen conifer forests.…”
