Climate Change May Alter Rainfall‐Partitioning in Ways Unlikely To Be Detected in the Coming Decades
Droughts around the world have resulted in less annual streamflow relative to annual rainfall. The decrease in streamflow cannot be explained by changes in land‐use, precipitation or temperature alone.

Understanding how rainfall is partitioned into throughfall, stemflow, and interception losses by xerophytic trees is important for evaluating afforestation projects and modeling hydrological budgets in semi-arid regions. However, information regarding rainfall partitioning by xerophytic trees and the controlling factors in semi-arid regions remains ...

Steal the rain: Interception loses and rainfall partitioning by a broad‐leaf and a fine‐leaf woody encroaching species in a southern African semi‐arid savanna [PDF]
Woody plant encroachment (WPE) has been found to alter ecosystem functioning and services in savannas. In rain‐limited savannas, increasing woody cover can reduce streamflow and groundwater by altering evapotranspiration rates and rainfall partitioning ...

Global patterns and drivers of rainfall partitioning by trees and shrubs [PDF]
AbstractSpatiotemporal redistribution of incident rainfall in vegetated ecosystems results from the partitioning by plants into intercepted, stemflow, and throughfall fractions. However, variation in patterns and drivers of rainfall partitioning across global biomes remains poorly understood, which limited the ability of climate models to improve the ...

Inter- and intra-event rainfall partitioning dynamics of two typical xerophytic shrubs in the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]
Rainfall is known as the main water replenishment in dryland ecosystems, and rainfall partitioning by vegetation reshapes the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of rainwater entry into the soil.

Partitioning snowmelt and rainfall in the critical zone: effects of climate type and soil properties [PDF]
Streamflow generation and deep groundwater recharge may be vulnerable to loss of snow, making it important to quantify how snowmelt is partitioned between soil storage, deep drainage, evapotranspiration, and runoff.

Comparison of revised Gash models for estimating rainfall interception in an oriental beech stand, west of Hyrcanian region [PDF]
The most common models for estimating rainfall interception are physical-based models, of which Gash models are the most widely used. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficiency of revised Gash models in estimating the rainfall interception of ...

Establishment of rainfall partitioning parameters for Tea [PDF]
Tea is a popular cash crop in Asian and African countries that can be grown from tropical to subtropical climates with high humidity and heavy rainfall. India is the second-largest producer of Tea worldwide, having approximately 567 thousand hectares under tea cultivation.

Rainfall partitioning in the Cerrado and its influence on net rainfall nutrient fluxes
Abstract Quantitative studies on the water and nutrient enrichment of throughfall and stemflow in the Cerrado are lacking, especially among tree species. This work tested the hypothesis that the chemistry of rainfall fractions is altered after passing through the canopy and that the chemistry of stemflow can substantially change among tree species ...
