Functional Traits Mediate Physico‐Chemical Niche Differentiation of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes in Temperate Forests

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host tree identity drives bark physico‐chemical filters (e.g., pH, metals) that shape epiphytic communities. We show that species‐specific functional traits, such as lichen substances and bryophyte growth forms, mediate these responses. Lichen metal homeostasis and bryophyte growth habit create distinct species thresholds and community change points ...

Expressing stemflow commensurate with its ecohydrological importance

Advances in Water Resources, 2018
Despite some progress, the importance of stemflow remains obscured partly due to computations emphasizing canopy interception loss. We advocate for two metrics—the stand-scale funneling ratio and the stand-scale infiltration funneling ratio—to more accurately portray stemflow inputs and increase comparability across ecosystems.

Sclerified Cork Outperforms the Exodermis: Root Water Permeability Decreases in the Soil‐To‐Canopy Transition of the Aroid Vine Epipremnum aureum

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...

Quantifying throughfall, stemflow, and rainfall interception in a Fagus orientalis forest and a Picea abies plantation in Siahkal, Gilan [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2017
Rainfall partitioning into throughfall, stemflow, and interception is an important component of the water cycle in tree’s ecosystems in forest ecohydrological research.

Interaction of precipitation with tree canopy increases nutrient input

Revista Ambiente & Água, 2021
Given that atmospheric deposition is the first source of nutrient input into forest ecosystems, and that the precipitation partition serves as a nutritional source mainly when there is an interaction with the forest canopy, the objective of the present ...

Living particulate fluxes in throughfall and stemflow during a pollen event

Biogeochemistry, 2021
Pollen shedding can produce rapid, abundant exchanges of nutrient-rich biomass from plant canopies to the surface. When pollen deposits onto understory plants, it can be washed off during storms via throughfall (a drip flux) and stemflow (a flux down ...

Rain, Bark, and Residual Variability in Stemflow From Three Dominant Tree Species of a Southern Great Lakes Forest

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Terrestrial LiDAR and hydrology calibration were used to derive each tree's stemflow drainage area, normalising rainfall‐stemflow relations by contributing surface. The results show that Fagus grandifolia (beech) maintains a stronger, steeper hydrological response to rainfall (exhibited by a higher normalised yield) than Acer saccharum (maple) and ...

Predictive models for stemflow and throughfall estimation in four fruit tree species under hot and sub-humid climatic region

Hydrology Research, 2020
Inclusion of stemflow and throughfall processes in rainfall-runoff modelling requires reliable models for their estimation. In the present paper, stemflow and throughfall generation processes were investigated in relation to rainfall, and morphological ...

Assessing the Impact of Subsurface Clay Layers on Water Use Dynamics in Eucalyptus globulus Plantations

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Eucalyptus globulus sites underlain by thin clay layers exhibited substantially higher transpiration, groundwater use, and stand productivity compared to sites underlain by thick clay layers. Mean annual net water balance at thick clay sites was negligible. Access to groundwater was likely restricted by thick clay layers, resulting in reduced water use
