The degree of SoilCover will govern how much precipitation, throughfall and drip from the canopy that will infiltrate into the soil. The parameter can be considered as a physical barrier (like a plastic sheet or a roof) that covers the soil and causes losses as surface runoff instead of infiltration into the soil. Normally the parameter will be put to 0, which means that no physical barrier exists for infiltration of water into the soil. A value of 1 will prevent the soil from any type of wetting from precipitation.
