Abstract

Within the topo-climatically complex tropical mountains of Hawai’i, there are four distinctive montane forest zones where the direct canopy interception of wind-driven cloud water (also referred to as “fog drip”) plays a significant role in forest ecology and hydrology. Not all of these four zones can be characterized as classic tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF), but to varying degrees each is influenced by ground-level, orographic cloud.KeywordsCloud WaterCloud ForestCanopy InterceptionRainfall EpisodeTropical Montane Cloud ForestThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
