Assess Importance of Fogdrip at Windward and Leeward Forest Sites on East MauiPIERC Project Leader: Lloyd Loope, Ph.D. |
 |
Objectives: How much does fog contribute to cloud forest water budgets? Do plants use fog, rain or both? Does fog recharge the deep ground-water system? What factors contribute to canopy fog-interception efficiency? |
| Accomplishments: Windward & leeward stations installed Data collection seamless Preliminary results evaluated
|
Significance: Positive collaboration with WRD Potential for restoration of degraded leeward forests, given a positive effect on hydrology Potential for contribution to understanding of “endangered” cloud forests worldwide |
