THE WATER CYCLE

Explore the crucial role of forests in the water cycle, as illustrated in Margalef's work. Discover the impact of LAI, PET, precipitation, transpiration, evaporation, fog interception, infiltration, runoff, flash floods, and groundwater. Learn how forests regulate runoff, protect soil, recharge aquifers, and mitigate erosion. Uncover the distinct mechanisms of rain formation in the Amazon and the importance of combating a polluted atmosphere for a clean environment.
