dc.description.abstractA cloud belt frequently forms on the windward side of Madeira Island, between 800 and 1600 m a.s.l., as a result of adiabatic cooling of the northeastern trade winds that are forced upward. Temperate laurel forest is the most common vegetation inside that cloud belt altitudinal range. Cloud water interception was estimated by comparing precipitation and throughfall during a hydrological year. It totalled 200 mm (8% of rainfall) during 65 days (3 mm d-1) and seems to constitute a larger fraction of water input during drier months. Multiple linear regression between gauge standard deviation and throughfall throughout rain events shows that cloud interception is common before the onset of rainfall. Its role in the ecohydrology of laurel forest and in the island’s hydrology should be acknowledged. Further studies on this issue should be a priority in order to better understand these dynamics and provide tools for the correct management of this protected forest and the island’s groundwater resources.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractUne ceinture de nuages se forme fréquemment sur le côté au vent de l’île de Madère, entre 800 et 1600 m d’altitude, à la suite du refroidissement adiabatique des alizés de Nord-Est qui sont poussés en altitude. La forêt tempérée de lauriers est la végétation la plus courante dans cette fourchette d’altitude de la ceinture de nuages. L’interception de l’eau des nuages a été estimée en comparant les précipitations et le pluviolessivat au cours d’une année hydrologique. Ce dernier s’élève à 200 mm (8% des précipitations) pendant 65 jours (3 mm jour−1) et semble constituer une partie importante de l’apport d’eau pendant les mois les plus secs. La régression linéaire multiple entre l’écart-type des précipitations et le pluviolessivat pendant les épisodes de pluie montre que l’interception de l’eau des nuages est fréquente avant le début des pluies. Son rôle dans l’écohydrologie du laurier et sur l’hydrologie de l’île devrait être reconnu. La poursuite des études sur cette question devrait être une priorité afin de mieux comprendre cette dynamique, et de pouvoir fournir des outils pour une bonne gestion de cette forêt protégée et des ressources en eau souterraine de l’île.pt_PT
