Abstract:

Proceeding from the most important spatial layers in forest-hydrology ecological function, i. e. forest canopy, forest litter and forest soil, the potential impacts of climate change on geographical patterns of forest rainfall interception were simulated by means of GIS. The future climatic change scenario of China in 2030 was projected according to the seven GCMs. The canopy rainfall interception model and integrated rainfall interception model of forest ecosystems were established to predict the likely changes in forest rainfall interception in response to future climate change by using the IDRISI - GIS.

Key words: China, Climate change, Rainfall interception, Forest-hydrology, GIS
