Ringkasan	Canopy interception modeling quantifies the fraction of rainfall captured by plant canopies and subsequently evaporated back to the atmosphere before reaching the soil. Applied across agronomy, forestry, and hydrology, it partitions gross precipitation into throughfall, stemflow, and interception loss. By linking vegetation structure — particularly leaf area index and canopy storage capacity — to water balance components, the method informs irrigation scheduling, watershed management, and crop water-use estimation.	The soil moisture curve (or soil water retention curve, SWRC) describes the relationship between soil water content and soil matric potential (water tension). It characterizes how tightly water is bound in pores of different sizes: large pores drain at low tensions (wet soils), while smaller pores retain water at high tensions (dry soils). Quantifying this relationship is essential for water balance modeling, unsaturated flow prediction, and assessing plant-available water.
