Water uptake in woodland during winter

[peds]

Morning all,

 

I don't suppose anyone has any data to hand showing the relative uptake of water in various woodland settings at different times of the year? Obviously it slows right down for broadleaf, but it carries on to an extent with evergreens, conditions dependent... I wonder if there's a handy table anywhere comparing it across seasons and species? Might be a bit too much to ask!

 

I've been asked to plant a garden woodland in boggy ground, just want to discuss the whole range of options with the guy, from digging ponds and drainage to just firing in whips and walking away.

 

Cheers dudes. 

 

 

Edit

I've got this pdf from 2005 so far, hoping for something with a bit more meat on the bone though.
