Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a critical parameter in understanding how vegetation interacts with rainfall. It represents the total leaf area per unit ground area and significantly influences the interception of rainfall by plant canopies. This synthesis explores how variations in LAI affect rainfall interception based on findings from multiple research studies.
Higher LAI Increases Rainfall Interception:
Effect of LAI on Throughfall and Stemfall:

Urban Tree Canopy Morphology:
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a crucial factor in determining the extent of rainfall interception by plant canopies. Higher LAI generally leads to increased interception, affecting throughfall and stemfall dynamics. Accurate modeling of rainfall interception requires considering LAI, and this parameter is particularly important in urban hydrology and ecological restoration planning.
