24.3.4. Seasonal Variation

Try these first

1. 1.

   What happens to interception during the winter in deciduous forests?

   Hint

   Think about how the trees change seasonally.

2. 2.

   What term describes trees that lose their leaves each year?

   Hint

   Consider what happens in fall.

3. 3.

   What type of trees experience changes in interception due to seasonal variations?

   • Coniferous
   • Deciduous
   • Evergreen

   Hint

   Think about the seasonal changes of trees.

4. 4.

   Seasonal variation can lead to what result in interception rates in deciduous forests?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Reflect on leaf presence during seasons.

5. 5.

   Assess the impact of a changing climate on interception in a deciduous forest: What changes might occur, and how would they affect hydrological modeling?

   Hint

   Link climate data to interception rates.

6. 6.

   Consider two urban areas with different quantities of green infrastructure. Predict how seasonal interception might differ and explain your reasoning.

   Hint

   Think about the role of vegetation.
