Stemflow, throughfall and channelization of stemflow by roots in three Chihuahuan desert shrubs

Journal of Arid Environments, 1996
Three studies were conducted to examine precipitation–vegetation relationships in the multi–stemmed shrubsLarrea tridentata, Prosopis glandulosaandFlourensia cernuain a desert ecosystem. We measured stemflow and throughfall as affected by bulk precipitation, canopy architecture and stem-angles.

Stemflow of a xerophytic shrub (Salix psammophila) in northern China: Implication for beneficial branch architecture to produce stemflow

Journal of Hydrology, 2016
Summary Stemflow is an important mechanism to replenish soil water for xerophytic shrubs in water-stressed ecosystems, whereas the biotic influences of leaf and branch on shrub stemflow were not completely investigated. In this study, the stemflow of 98 branches with various basal diameter under 42 rainfall events was measured for Salix psammophila

Throughfall and Stemflow in Wooded Ecosystems

2011
Incident precipitation is routed to the subcanopy by throughfall and stemflow. Throughfall is defined as the precipitation that passes directly through a canopy or is initially intercepted by aboveground vegetative surfaces and subsequently drips from the canopy, whereas stemflow is the precipitation that drains from outlying leaves and branches and is

Relative contribution of biotic and abiotic factors to stemflow production and funneling efficiency: A long-term field study on a xerophytic shrub species in Tengger Desert of northern China

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2020
Stemflow production has been reported to be influenced by a suite of biotic and abiotic factors. Nevertheless, relative contributions of biotic and abiotic factors to stemflow production and funneling efficiency were largely unclear due to complex ...

Significance of stemflow in groundwater recharge. 2: A cylindrical infiltration model for evaluating the stemflow contribution to groundwater recharge

Hydrological Processes, 1996
A primary model for evaluating the effect of stemflow on groundwater recharge has been developed. The model, a cylindrical infiltration model (CI model), is based on the infiltration area of stemflow-induced water instead of canopy projected area for determining the stemflow inputs to the soil surface.

Significance of stemflow in groundwater recharge. 1: Evaluation of the stemflow contribution to recharge using a mass balance approach

Hydrological Processes, 1996
Stemflow was evaluated in a water balance and its contribution to groundwater recharge determined. Gross precipitation, throughfall and stemflow were measured for one year in a pine forest (Tsukuba, Japan) to determine each component of the water balance in the forest.

Interception and Stemflow in a Pine Plantation

Journal of Forestry, 1941
Abstract The amount of precipitation reaching the ground under a canopy of vegetation is quite different from the amount recorded in rain-gages in standard exposures in the open. The difference results from interception by the crowns corrected for the amount that flows down the stems.

A Polyurethane Stemflow Collector for Trees and Shrubs

Ecology, 1970
A collar of polyurethane foam was developed for collecting stemflow from hardwood trees. This collector is economical, chemically inert, and easy to install on stems of various textures, sizes, and shapes.

Stemflow and throughfall in a tropical dry forest

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1990
AbstractThe rainfall received by a small plot of tropical deciduous forest on sand dunes in Veracruz, Mexico, was partitioned into stemflow and throughfall components to determine whether funnelling by stemflow could reduce soil leaching by transmitting large volumes of water through vertical soil pathways beneath each stem.
