Rainfall interception in two forest species: Vochysia guatemalensis Donn. Sm. y Vochysia ferruginea Mart.

Abstract

La intercepción de precipitación en plantaciones de V. ferruginea Mart. y V. guatemalensis Donn. Sm. fue estudiada en la estación biológica La Selva, Heredia, Costa Rica. Se realizaron mediciones diarias de precipitación bruta, precipitación de copas y escorrentía fustal de agosto a noviembre del 2004. Se determinó estadísticamente si el número de pluviómetros utilizados fue el correcto para una precisión aceptable. El porcentaje de precipitación de copas para V. ferruginea fue de 87,65% de la precipitación bruta, en V. guatemalensis fue del 92,12%. Los porcentajes de escorrentía de fuste fueron 2,98% y 3,39% de la precipitación bruta respectivamente. Las pérdidas totales por intercepción en V. ferruginea fueron de 9,37% de la precipitación bruta, en V. guatemalensis fueron de 4,49%.

The rainfall interception in plantations of V. ferruginea Mart. and V. guatemalensis Donn. Sm. was studied at La Selva biological station (OTS), Heredia, Costa Rica. Daily measurements of gross rainfall, throughfall and stemflow were taken from August to November 2004. Statistical tests were used to assess if the number of used rain gauges was the correct for acceptable estimates. The percentage of throughfall for V. ferruginea was 87,65% of gross rainfall, in V. guatemalensis was 92,1%. The percentages of stemflow were 2,98% y 3,39% of the gross rainfall respectively for the same species. Total interception losses in V. ferruginea were of 9,37% of the gross precipitation, in V. guatemalensis were of 4,49%.
