Canopy interception dataset of Picea crassifolia in Tianlaochi watershed of Qilian Mountain

The data are from 2011 to 2012. A 30m×30m Picea crassifolia canopy interception sample plot was set up in the Picea crassifolia sample plot at an altitude of 2800m m. A siphon raingauge model DSJ2 (Tianjin Meteorological Instrument Factory) was set up on the open land of the river about 50m from the sample plot to observe the rainfall outside the forest and its characteristics. Penetrating rain in the forest adopts a combination of manual observation and automatic observation. Automatic observation is mainly realized through a penetrating rain collection system arranged in the interception sample plot, which consists of a water collecting tank and an automatic recorder. Two 400cm×20cm water collecting tanks are connected with DSJ2 siphon rain gauge, and the change characteristics of penetrating rain under the forest are continuously recorded by an automatic recorder. Due to the spatial variability of the canopy structure of Picea crassifolia forest in the sample plot, a standard rainfall tube for manual observation is also arranged in the sample plot to observe the penetrating rain in the forest. Ninety rainfall tubes with a diameter of 20cm are arranged in the sample plot at intervals of 3m. After each precipitation event ends and the penetrating rain in the forest stops, the amount of water in the rain barrel will be emptied and the penetrating rain in the barrel will be measured with the rain cup.

The canopy interception data of Qinghai spruce in Tianlaochi Catchment in Qilian Mountain

The content is 32 rainfall interception data of Picea crassifolia forest from May 24 to September 3, 2013. The sample plot is set in Qinghai Spruce Forest with an altitude of 2800m, the sample plot size is 30m × 30m, 90 rain cones with a diameter of 20cm are arranged in the sample plot with an interval of 3M, and 20 water tanks with two specifications (I is 200cm * 20cm, II is 400cm * 20cm) are arranged to observe the interception data in the forest. A dsj2 (Tianjin Meteorological Instrument Factory) siphon rain gauge was set up in the open land about 50m away from the sample site to observe the rainfall and rainfall characteristics outside the forest. After the end of each precipitation event and the stop of penetrating rain in the forest, measure and record the water quantity in each rain cone with a rain gauge.

WATER: Dataset of forest canopy gap fraction above the rain gauges observed by the camera at the super site around the Dayekou Guantan forest station

The dataset of forest canopy gap fraction above the rain gauges observed by the camera (PENTAX K100D, 2400×1600) was obtained at the super site (100m×100m, Qinghai spruce) around the Dayekou Guantan forest station from 9:00-10:40 on Jun. 4, 2008. Observation items included the ground-based LiDAR scanning, the total station measuring, DGPS, tally investigation, LAI, canopy spectrum, camera observations of the canopy, soil evapotranspiration, the soil frozen tube observations, surface roughness, precipitation interception, soil moisture and dry-wet weight of the forest component. A subplot (25m×25m) was chosen for precipitation interception observations with different canopy density, and 32 sets of photos were taken 1m above the ground. Through studying those photos, the number and location of rain gauges could be determined; and then the canopy density could also be further developed.
