ABSTRAK
Sebahagian hujan akan diperangkap oleh lapisan kanopi pokok dan permukaan
lain sebagai pintasan, sebelum tersejat kembali ke atmosfera. Air hujan menuruni kanopi hutan melalui dua mekanisme; aliran
batang dan jatuhan langsung. Aliran batang merujuk
kepada jumlah air hujan yang sampai ke permukaan tanah dengan menuruni batang
pokok dan dahan. Manakala jatuhan langsung pula merujuk kepada jatuhan
terus air hujan yang menembusi lapisan kanopi hutan melalui ruang-ruang antara
daun dan menitis dari daun, cabang dan dahan pokok. Kedua-dua komponen ini
dinilai menggunakan plot pintasan bersaiz 100 ¥100 m2 di hutan sekunder Tasik Chini. Tiga puluh batang pokok telah
digunakan dan setiap pokok dikenal pasti berdasarkan spesies, famili, diameter aras dada (DBH) saiz
kanopi dan ketumpatan kanopi. Dalam kajian ini, data pintasan telah dikumpulkan
pada dua kali kejadian hujan yang berlaku dalam bulan November 2007 (44.51%
dalam bentuk jatuhan langsung dan 55.49% dalam bentuk aliran batang) dan
taburan hujan dalam bulan Disember 2007 (39.65% dalam bentuk jatuhan langsung
dan 60.35% dalam bentuk aliran batang). Kajian pintasan ini menghasilkan
maklumat penting bagi kitaran hidrologi yang berlaku dalam ekosistem hutan,
juga keseimbangan air tanah bencah.

ABSTRACT
Part of a rainfall is
captured by the crowns of the trees and other surfaces as interception, which
is then evaporated back into the atmosphere. Water moves down through the
forest canopy via two mechanisms; stemflow and throughfall processes. Stemflow
refers to the total quantity of rain water which reach the ground through tree stems and branches. Throughfall in
the other hand, is the tendency of the rainfalls to penetrate the forest canopy
directly through the spaces between the leaves or by dripping from the leaves,
twigs, and branches. Both components were measured in an interception
plot size 100 ¥100 m2 in
a secondary tropical forest at Tasik Chini. Thirty tree samples were used and
each tree was well-identified based on their species, family, diameter breast
height (DBH), canopy size
and its density. In this study, the data were collected based on two rainfall
events, namely in November 2007(44.51% in throughfall form and 55.49% in stem
flow form) and rainfall distribution on December 2007 (39.65% in throughfall
form and 60.35% in stem flow form). This interception study provided essential
information on how the function of the forest can affect the crucial
hydrological cycle occurring within this forest ecosystem and the wetland water
balance.
