Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Forest litter, as a crucial transitional zone at the vegetation-soil interface, significantly influences ecosystem hydrothermal transport processes through physical barriers, water retention regulation, and thermal resistance effects. Litter cover significantly impacts forest ecosystem hydrothermal transport by altering surface reflectivity and surface resistance. Existing research indicates that dynamic changes in litter cover have a significant impact on soil evaporation and surface energy distribution. However, most evapotranspiration models based on the Penman-Monteith equation do not adequately consider the regulatory mechanisms of the litter layer on evaporation, and traditional forest hydrothermal transport models often simplify the litter layer as a static medium of fixed thickness, neglecting its seasonal dynamic characteristics. Establishing a comprehensive model of forest ecosystem hydrothermal transport that accurately describes the dynamic characteristics of litter cover is of great significance for a deeper understanding of forest ecosystem hydrothermal cycles, optimizing forest resource management, and predicting the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems.
