Canopy structure metrics governing stemflow funnelling differ between leafed and leafless states: Insights from a large‐scale rainfall simulator

open access: yesHydrological Processes, 2021
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 ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Comparison of different Gash physically-based models for estimating stemflow in Elder pine stand in Chitgar Forest Park [PDF]

open access: yesمجله جنگل ایران, 2019
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.

Partitioning of Rainfall and Sprinkler-Irrigation by Crop Canopies: A Global Review and Evaluation of Available Research

open access: yesHydrology, 2020
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 ...

Vegetation Components as Nature‐Based Solutions to Reduce Runoff and Soil Loss in a Brazilian Semi‐Arid Ecosystem

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydraulic roughness (log f) is invoked as an integrator of vegetation effects on overland flow in semi‐arid catchments, yet the quantitative contribution of individual cover components remains poorly resolved. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which shrub vegetation, surface litter and tree canopy modulate runoff generation ...

The dynamics of knowledge about stemflow: a systematic review

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais, 2021
The importance of stemflow to hydrology and biogeochemistry in forest ecosystems is highlighted by the growing interest of the scientific community since the 1970s. This paper summarizes the main contributions of stemflow (SF) studies from recent years through a systematic review of the literature, including 375 scientific articles published between ...

Effects of habitat quality and fine‐scale spatial structure on epiphytic lichen and bryophyte communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Host‐tree identity, particularly bark physico‐chemical traits, emerged as the dominant driver of epiphytic lichen and bryophyte community composition in this closed‐canopy temperate forest system, while microclimate plays a subordinate role. Spatial structure and proximity contributed additional effects for both groups, but for lichens, habitat ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): II. Solute Concentrations and Flux Dynamics

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Trees can redirect large volumes of rainwater to the base of their stems. This stemflow not only redistributes water but also channels canopy‐derived solutes to the forest floor. Building on research showing canopy geometry and bark properties govern stemflow volumes, we examined how those same traits modulate the biogeochemical side of this flux. Over

Extreme Droughts Push Heterotrophic Functions Above Baseline Levels in a Neotropical Ecosystem

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using tank bromeliads, we experimentally assessed post‐drought resistance and recovery of ecosystem multifunctionality under realistic drought scenarios. We focused on three key functions in these small yet abundant Neotropical freshwater ecosystems: litter decomposition, microbial respiration, and photosynthetic efficiency.

Rainfall redistribution in subtropical Chinese forests changes over 22 years [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences
Rainfall redistribution through the vegetation canopy plays a key role in the hydrological cycle. Although there have been studies on the heterogeneous patterns of rainfall redistribution in some ecosystems, the understanding of this process in different
