Remote sensing upscaling of interception loss from isolated oaks: Sardon catchment case study, Spain

摘要

Highlights?2-Year rainfall interception loss ofQuercus ilexandQuercus pyrenaicameasured.?Rainfall interception loss modelled using revised Gash analytical model.?Upscaling tree interception in oak woodland of the Sardon catchment (～80km2)?High resolution optical remote sensing applied for upscaling tree interception loss.?The proposed method can be applied in any sparsely vegetated areas.AbstractTree interception loss from two Mediterranean oak species,Quercus ilex(Q.i.) andQuercus pyrenaica(Q.p.), was estimated during 2-year period (1 October 2011 to 30 September 2013) in sparsely vegetated Sardon catchment (～80km2, Spai
