The amount and patterning of precipitation beneath vegetation is determined by throughfall
and stemflow. Throughfall is the portion of precipitation that falls through, or drips from, the …

Forest canopy cover (FCC) is an important ecological parameter of forest ecosystems, and is
correlated with forest characteristics, including plant growth, regeneration, biodiversity, light …

Despite some progress, the importance of stemflow remains obscured partly due to
computations emphasizing canopy interception loss. We advocate for two metrics—the …

The 'road-effect zone'is a concept developed to describe the impact of road construction on
the surrounding area. Although many aspects of the road-effect zone have been …

The first contact between precipitation and the land surface is often a plant canopy. The
resulting precipitation partitioning by vegetation returns water back to the atmosphere …

Tropical forests have experienced rapid deforestation due to demand from agriculture,
timber, and urbanisation. Throughout the Caribbean, planting resilient, fast growing exotic …

Modeling rainfall interception (I) is fundamental for understanding the forests' role in
ecohydrological processes in local and regional scales. This research examines the …

Water storage on tree crowns, trunks, the understory, and litter is, in many respects, one of
the simplest water balance components of vegetated ecosystems, but one that is rarely …

The factors influencing the interception process such as the vegetation structure and the
meteorological conditions, especially rainfall characteristics, are diverse and highly variable …

Deposition of atmospheric pollution as particulate matter (PM) has become a serious issue
in many urban areas. This study measured and estimated the amount of atmospheric PM …
