At the study site Tharandt Anchor Station in Saxony/Germany sap flow measurements are
conducted in an old Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] KARST.) stand. During the study period …

The world's largest afforestation programs implemented by China made a great contribution
to the global “greening up.” These programs have received worldwide attention due to its …

In recent years, research interest in plant water uptake strategies has rapidly increased in
many disciplines, such as hydrology, plant ecology and ecophysiology. Quantitative …

Understanding the influence of vegetation on water storage and flux in the upper soil is
crucial in assessing the consequences of climate and land use change. We sampled the …

Water travel times reflect hydrological processes, yet we know little about how travel times in
the unsaturated zone vary with time. Using the soil physical model HYDRUS‐1D, we derived …

Plants acquire carbon through photosynthesis to sustain biomass production, autotrophic
respiration and production of non-structural compounds for multiple purposes. The fraction …

There is increasing interest in improving understanding of evaporation within a catchment
for an enhanced representation of dominant processes in hydrological models. We used a …

The complexity of the spatial distribution and temporal occurrence of preferential flow (PF)
makes it challenging to understand the mechanisms of PF. This study aims to identify the …

The spatial and temporal controls of preferential flow (PF) during infiltration are still not fully
understood. As soil moisture sensor networks allow us to capture infiltration responses in …

The aim of this study was to determine how the crown and root architecture of beech trees
control stemflow formation, stemflow infiltration, and the subsurface transport of stemflow …
