Dendrobiology 2004, vol. 51supplement: 27-34 Full text (pdf)
Abstract: All basic components of the water budget of a mature spruce and beech stand in the Orlické Mts are quantified and the results are given in summary tables. Rest periods (November–April) and vegetation seasons (May–October) are evaluated separately. Special attention is paid to the measurement of snow cover and the processes of snow melting in both types of stands.
Additional key words: water budget, precipitation, summary evaporation, runoff, snow cover
