Potential for significant precipitation cycling by forest‐floor litter and deadwood
MG Floriancic, ST Allen, R Meier, L Truniger… - …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The forest‐floor litter layer can retain substantial volumes of water, thus affecting evaporation
and soil‐moisture dynamics. However, litter layer wetting/drying dynamics are often …
