2023 The Garden Club of America Zone VI Fellowship in Urban Forestry
The Role of Urban Trees in Mitigating Large Precipitation Events via Stemflow and Canopy Interception
Looking closely at how impervious surfaces alter hydrology, Vera will quantify urban trees’ ability to mitigate severity of precipitation events. Stemflow and throughfall will be documented to determine how urban trees temporarily intercept and divert a fraction of precipitation away from overworked municipal storm drainage systems. Vera will also conduct a full tree inventory of Marshall University’s campus and update the campus tree map. Data will delineate the ecosystem services provided by the trees and will elucidate benefits to the campus and the Huntington community.
