Seminar: Gökben Demir

Vegetation intercepts and diverts precipitation into throughfall and stemflow, referred to as below canopy precipitation.
Several studies reported that the spatial variation of throughfall is temporally stable. These stable patterns can influence subsurface hydrological processes. However, the role of root water uptake is unresolved in understanding throughfall patterns' impact on subsurface hydrological processes.
To determine the role of root water uptake within the throughfall, soil, and vegetation triangle, we need to identify root water uptake drivers. In this talk, I will introduce recent findings about the controlling factors of the spatial distribution of root water uptake in a mixed forest.

In unserer wöchentlichen Vortragsreihe wechseln sich eingeladene Wissenschaftler aus internationalen Forschungsinstituten (Kolloquien) mit unseren internen Wissenschaftlern ab (interne Seminare - diese Reihe), die über die Fortschritte ihrer Forschungsprojekte berichten. Eingeladene Gäste unserer lokalen akademischen Partner sind zu den Kolloquien herzlich willkommen.
