Analysis of suction distribution response to rainfall event and tree canopy

This study provides an exploration of matric suction influenced by tree canopy interception on a single rainfall event. A field monitoring was carried out to measure matric suction at slope with two conditions; at toe of slope without tree and with a tree at toe of slope on a tropical residual soil....
