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.

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.

A review of stemflow generation dynamics and stemflow‐environment interactions in forests and shrublands [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2015 AbstractMany geoscientists now recognize stemflow as an important phenomenon which can exert considerable effects on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of wooded ecosystems and shrublands. Despite the explosive growth of stemflow research, until this review there has been no comprehensive attempt to summarize and synthesize this literature ...

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.

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.

Forest stand factors determine the rainfall pattern of crown allocation of Picea schrenkiana in the northern slope of Mount Bogda, Tianshan Range, China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The middle elevation forest of the Tianshan Mountains, dominated by the conifer tree Picea schrenkiana, is an important part of the mountain ecosystem of arid Northwestern China, which plays a pivotal role in carbon sequestration and water conservation ...

Stemflow and throughfall in agricultural crops: a synthesis [PDF]
Revista Ambiente & Água, 2021 The interception of rainwater in annual and perennial agriculture has been the object of several studies in the last decades. However, scant attention has been paid to where this research has taken place and which principal crops have been studied.

Data on soil physicochemical properties and chemical composition of rainfall and of throughfall and stemflow generated by Turkey oak trees (Quercus cerris L.) in acid and sub-alkaline soils [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2018 We report data on the physicochemical properties of soils collected in two adjacent areas, one acid and one sub-alkaline, both developed on sequential beds of Plio-pleistocene marine sediments, and on the chemical composition of ecological solutions ...

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.
