| Abstract | Qinghai spruce ( Picea crassifolia) is a main constructive species of water conservation forest in the Qilian Mountains, and it plays an important role in regulating the hydrological processes of this mountainous region. Therefore, rationally analyzing and evaluating eco鄄hydrological effects of Qinghai spruce canopy is important for understanding the water cycle and water balance of Qilian Mountains. Based on canopy interception data observed at Guantan Forest Station (100毅 15忆0. 8义 E,38毅32忆1. 3义 N) within the Qilian Mountains, this study aims at analyzing characteristics of rainfall redistribution of the Qinghai spruce forest and its influence factors. In order to study characteristics of canopy interception of the Qinghai spruce forest, home鄄made rain gauges, rainfall containers and stemflow devices were carried out in the 3 rd sub鄄plot at Guantan Forest Station in 2008 by Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute of CAS. During the whole observation period (from June 12 to October 8 in 2008), throughfall, stemflow, and canopy interception of 34 rain events were observed. Meanwhile, we extracted the mean canopy closure and leaf area index (LAI) of the 3 rd sub鄄plot |
