Photosynthetic behaviour in cyanobacteria‐dominated biofilms on tree bark is very sensitive to water availability and vulnerable to climatic changes. ABSTRACT Climate change intensifies drought in several regions. Here, we assess how water availability and air humidity regulate photosynthesis in epiphytic cyanobacterial biofilms on Jacaranda ...

Quantifying throughfall, stemflow, and rainfall interception in a Fagus orientalis forest and a Picea abies plantation in Siahkal, Gilan [PDF]
Rainfall partitioning into throughfall, stemflow, and interception is an important component of the water cycle in tree’s ecosystems in forest ecohydrological research.

The spatial variability of stemflow on the bole of trees has rarely been the focal point of stemflow studies, despite its potential importance for stemflow‐induced changes to soils.

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

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 ...

Interaction of precipitation with tree canopy increases nutrient input
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 ...

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil
ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...

The role of tree traits in explaining throughfall variability in US forests
Abstract Throughfall, precipitation that passes through the plant canopy or drips from canopy surfaces, represents the dominant input of water to most forests and is extremely spatially and temporally variable. Many plant traits can influence throughfall, but because measuring throughfall and a wide variety of plant traits is labor intensive, most ...

Connecting ecohydrology and hydropedology in desert shrubs: stemflow as a source of preferential flow in soils [PDF]
Ecohydrology and hydropedology are two emerging fields that are interconnected. In this study, we demonstrate stemflow hydrology and preferential water flow along roots in two desert shrubs (<i>H. scoparium</i> and <i>S. psammophila</
