Many geoscientists now recognize stemflow as an important phenomenon which can exert
considerable effects on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of wooded ecosystems …

Stemflow is a spatially localized point input of precipitation and solutes at the plant stem and
is of hydrological and ecological significance in forested and agricultural ecosystems. The …

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 …

While the hydrological balance of forest ecosystems has often been studied at the annual
level, quantitative studies on the factors determining rainfall partitioning of individual rain …

The net amount of rainfall entering into the soil and its spatial distribution at the patch scale
are key drivers of ecosystem processes in drylands. The spatial distribution of water is …

The Namib grass Stipagrostis sabulicola relies, to a large degree, upon fog for its water
supply and is able to guide collected water towards the plant base. This directed irrigation of …

Interception loss from a multi-species, deciduous, broad-leaved secondary forest in Japan
was derived from gross rainfall, throughfall, and stemflow. The seasonal changes in the …

Forests play an important role in the water cycle and in the control of soil erosion. The
canopy, as the first active surface of the forest, directly affects soil erosion by redistributing …
