Is stemflow a vector for the transport of small metazoans from tree surfaces down to soil? [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background Stemflow is an essential hydrologic process shaping the soil of forests by providing a concentrated input of rainwater and solutions. However, the transport of metazoans by stemflow has yet to be investigated.

Stemflow Infiltration Hotspots Create Soil Microsites Near Tree Stems in an Unmanaged Mixed Beech Forest [PDF]
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.

Neighbourhood and stand structure affect stemflow generation in a heterogeneous deciduous temperate forest [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Although stemflow oftentimes only represents a small portion of net precipitation in forests, it creates hot spots of water input that can affect subsurface storm-flow dynamics.

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.

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.
