Assessing the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding for measuring microbial biodiversity within forest ecosystems

Scientific Reports, 2021
We investigated the nascent application and efficacy of sampling and sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) in terrestrial environments using rainwater that filters through the forest canopy and understory vegetation (i.e., throughfall).

Employing a Hysteresis Approach to Analyze Shifts in Tree Physiological Thresholds in Response to Drought

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought‐induced tree mortality underscores the need for improved physiological models to predict tree responses to water stress. We employed a hysteresis modelling approach analyzing diel water absorption and desorption cycles to understand drought‐induced shifts in physiological thresholds.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2143-2157, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
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 ...

Exploring the effects of maize canopy on the spatiotemporal distribution heterogeneity of the determinants of sprinkler irrigation droplet splash erosivity

Agricultural Water Management
To fully understand the sprinkler irrigation-crop-soil continuum, prevent sprinkler erosion, and ensure good development of sprinkler technology, it is essential to characterize the spatiotemporal variability of physical parameters and the splash erosion

Dynamic nitrogen deposition thresholds during forest stand development in a Douglas fir forest analysed with two nitrogen models SMART2 and MERLIN [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2002
This study focuses on spatial variability of throughfall water and chemistry and forest floor water content within a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, Franco L.) forest plot. Spatial patterns of water and chemistry (NH4+, NO3‾, SO42-, Cl‾, Mg2+, Ca2+,

Throughfall Reduction × Fertilization: Deep Soil Water Usage in a Clay Rich Ultisol Under Loblolly Pine in the Southeast USA

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Forests in the Southeast USA are predicted to experience a moderate decrease in precipitation inputs over this century that may result in soil water deficiency during the growing season.

Zinc Isotopes Reveal Cross‐Border Transport of Coal Combustion Pollutants Across the Himalayas During the Summer Monsoon

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The Himalayas form a major atmospheric barrier between South Asia and Tibetan Plateau, yet cross‐barrier transport of anthropogenic metals remains poorly constrained. We use moss δ66Zn along a 750–4,100 m a.s.l. south‐north transect in Motuo to trace pollution sources and transport processes. On the southern slope, trace metals (Zn, Pb, As, Ni,

An empirical method for approximating canopy throughfall

, 2013
Rainfall replenishes surface and subsurface water but is partially intercepted by a canopy. However, it is challenging to quantify the rainfall passing through the canopy (i.e. throughfall).
