An increasing number of studies have examined the effects of various biotic and abiotic factors on stemflow production. Of those that have ascribed the importance of canopy structure to stemflow production, there has been a bias towards field studies ...

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 in a Multi-storied Aspen Community
This paper presents mathematical equations describing the relationships between the amount of stemflow per canopy layer per storm and the amount of gross rain per storm for four different canopy layers in a multi-storied forest community. The curves representing the relationships were curvilinear; for three of the canopy layers stemflow per storm ...

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

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</

The role of crop canopies in the global water cycle is a topic of increasing international interest. How much rain and sprinkler-irrigation water are returned to the atmosphere or reach the soils beneath crop canopies, and the pathways of those water ...

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.

Comparison of different Gash physically-based models for estimating stemflow in Elder pine stand in Chitgar Forest Park [PDF]
In plant ecohydrology studies, stemflow considered as point input of rainfall into plant ecosystems. To date, due to field measurement, time-consuming and high cost of stemflow measurements, models are used to estimate the stemflow amounts.

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

Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.
