Snow accumulation and ablation processes are particularly important to the hydrology of cold climate forests. In order to calculate the distribution of snow cover and the loss of snow to sublimation, the amount of snowfall intercepted by forest canopies must be determined. This paper introduces a ph

Snow ablation modelling at the stand scale must account for the variability in snow cover and the large variations of components of energy transfer at the forest Β―oor. Our previous work successfully predicted snow ablation in a mature jack pine stand by using a one-dimensional snow process model and
## Abstract The performance of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) was evaluated in offβline runs, using data collected at three boreal forest stands located near Thompson, Manitoba: young jack pine, mature jack pine, and mature black spruce. The data were collected in the late spring through
Spatial variation in snowmelt rates in the boreal forest can be explained by dierences in canopy density. Canopy density, represented as gap fractions (GF), controls both the amount of short-wave radiation reaching the snowpack surface and wind speed over the snow surface, which in turn regulates se
Evaporation from the forest floor (E FF ) in a deciduous broadleaf forest was measured using microlysimeter and closed-chamber systems. The microlysimeter was used at six points in the experimental basin, and measurements gave different E FF values at different points. This could be attributed to th
## Abstract The ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes and the Cβcoupled energy and water dynamics were developed in the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS). The ecosystem C and N simulations include plant photosynthesis and respiration, plant tissue growth, senescence, root N uptake, soi
