(1) All values shown assume: (1) random distribution of mulch or vegetation, and (2) mulch of
appreciable depth where it exists.
(2) Average fall height of waterdrops from canopy to soil surtace: m =meters.
(3) Portion of total-area surtace that would be hidden from view by canopy in a vertical projection, (a
bird's-eye view).
(4) G: Cover at surface is grass, grasslike plants, decaying compacted duff, or litter.
W: Cover at surface is mostly broadleaf herbaceous plants (as weeds with little lateral-root network
near the surtace, and/or undecayed residue).
