Transformation of the kinetic energy of rainfall with variable tree canopies
This thesis defines a physically based model describing the kinetic energy of throughfall from any vegetation canopy. Empirical measurements of the drop-size distribution of rainfall and sub-canopy throughfall were used to develop the model which was tested in the context of splash erosion. Comparis...
