Collection of environmental DNA from stemflow for monitoring arboreal biodiversity: Preliminary validation using lichens [PDF]
MethodsX, 2023 The forest canopy harbors a diverse array of organisms. However, monitoring their biodiversity poses challenges due to limited accessibility and the vast taxonomic diversity.

What We Know About Stemflow's Infiltration Area [PDF]
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 A portion of precipitation drains to the surface down plant stems, as “stemflow.” Although per observations to date, stemflow rarely represents >2% of gross precipitation in forests, it can result in larger water fluxes to near-stem soils that are ...

Mapping bark bacteria: initial insights of stemflow-induced changes in bark surface phyla. [PDF]
Microbiol Spectr, 2023 Life on and within bark surfaces is likely affected by many factors, including bark moisture, bark microrelief, bark pH, and the climatology of forests.

Routing stemflow water through the soil via preferential flow: a dual-labelling approach with artificial tracers [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Stemflow and its belowground funnelling along roots and macropores may play an important role in the soil moisture redistribution in forest environments. In this study, a stemflow experiment on Pinus sylvestris L.

Under the canopy: disentangling the role of stemflow in shaping spatial patterns of soil microbial community structure underneath trees. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2022 Summary Stemflow is a spatially concentrated input of rainwater at the base of trees, resulting from precipitation draining down tree branches to the stem.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 In stemflow, rainfall is collected and channeled to a concentrated soil water input. It can constitute up to 30% of incident precipitation in some ecosystems.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Stemflow can be an important pathway for the drainage of precipitation and related solutes through tree canopies to forest soils. As stemflow must drain along bark surfaces, the effects of bark structure on stemflow chemical composition is merited.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Few investigations have examined the structural controls of bark on its water storage and influence on stemflow, despite the bark being considered a critical component that determines the time and magnitude of this process. This study seeks to answer the

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 The process of rainfall partitioning is usually addressed by three components: rainfall interception, throughfall and stemflow. The occurrence and proportion of stemflow depends on many complexly interconnected factors.

Hypothesis and Theory: Fungal Spores in Stemflow and Potential Bark Sources
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 The study of stemflow fungi began over 50 years ago. Past work has been performed in different climatic regions of the world, with different sampling methods, by mycologists focusing on different taxonomical groups.
