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

Fern spore dispersal: A methodological review and experimental field study
Abstract Spore dispersal is one of the most important but perhaps the least investigated and understood processes in determining the geographical distribution of fern species. After a methodological review of the aerobiology of fern spores, we examined the impact of spore characteristics and meteorological factors on their airborne dispersal.

Stemflow is a key process in forested catchments due to its control on soil water content and nutrients’ transport. However, there are still few studies focusing on stemflow infiltration and relying on direct observations that are minimally invasive and ...

Modelling runoff at the plot scale taking into account rainfall partitioning by vegetation: application to stemflow of banana (Musa spp.) plant [PDF]
Rainfall partitioning by vegetation modifies the intensity of rainwater reaching the ground, which affects runoff generation. Incident rainfall is intercepted by the plant canopy and then redistributed into throughfall and stemflow.

The Role of Leaf Wettability and Morphology on Leaf Surface Water Storage: A Cross‐Biome Synthesis
ABSTRACT The presence of water on leaves impacts plant function and ecosystem fluxes by supplementing moisture, reducing evapotranspirational demand and encouraging pathogen spread. Maximum phytoelement water storage capacity (MWSC)—the maximum amount of water that can be held on the surface of the leaf‐ is an important but poorly constrained parameter

Restoration of Thicketized Post Oak Savanna Woodlands Increases Deep Drainage
ABSTRACT Woody plant encroachment and subsequent thicketization is a global phenomenon that has been demonstrated to reduce groundwater recharge, yet it is unknown whether reducing woody plant cover will restore groundwater recharge rates to pre‐encroachment levels.

Stemflow for detecting mammalian environmental DNA: a case study in a zoo [PDF]
As mammalian diversity declines, effective biodiversity monitoring tools are urgently needed. To address this issue, we assessed the detectability of mammalian environmental DNA (eDNA) by applying eDNA metabarcoding to stemflow samples.

INTERSEPSI DAN ALIRAN BATANG TANAMAN KOPI DENGAN BERBAGAI NAUNGAN DI SUMBERMANJING WETAN, MALANG
The current climate change has an impact on crop production, especially coffee plants. Rainfall is one of the climate elements that influences the process of crop cultivation, because of its role in the availability of water crops.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and concentration patterns of three groups of trace contaminants—potentially toxic elements (PTEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)—in river catchments with contrasting land use and landscape characteristics. A second objective was to relate
