- Abstract:
-
In order to clarify the role of the mature corn in the distribution of rainfall and effectively prevent regional soil erosion, effect of maize plants in maturity stage on canopy interception, throughfall and stemflow were analyzed in hilly region in the western Sichuan Province by using the field method of artificial rainfall. The results showed that the average of throughfall, stemflow and canopy interception amounts were 7.5%, 28.8% and 63.7%, respectively. The interception of corn canopy showed an increasing trend with the increase of rainfall intensity, and the effective interception showed decreasing trend with the increase of corn plant leaf area. However, there was no significant correlation between the canopy interception, the height and the angle of leaf. Stem flow showed an increasing trend with the increase of leaf area and rainfall intensity. However, there was no significant correlation between the stem flow and the angle of leaf. The throughfall showed a decreasing trend with the increase of leaf area and showed the increasing trend in the number of throughfall with the increase of rainfall intensity. However, there was no significant correlation between the throughfall and the height.
