Textured Flora biology METRICS · Leaf and bark litter can absorb 150% of their dry weight in water (Pypker, 2004). · Downed, rotting wood can collect 5% of a rainfall event (Pypker, 2004). · Runoff is slight within a Pacific Northwest forest (0.2%) and occurs only in extremely heavy storm events (Beyerlein, 2012). Lesson for the Built Environment How can a building mimic the redundant, textured surfaces of the forest, slowing water as it descends from canopy to ground plane? Photograph courtesy of Nickpdx, 2006 BIOLOGY Northwest forests exhibit complex layers of varied surface textures. Thick vegetation is found from the canopy to the forest floor. Trees, shrubs, mosses, and lichen have year-round foliage and complex surface profiles, holding water on their surfaces for long periods of time, supporting a high incidence of evaporation.
