Demands for water services from forested watersheds have dramatically increased since the
1950s and the trend continues as global environmental change intensifies in the 21st …

Topographic and climatic changes are the main causes of abrupt flooding in tropical areas. It
is the need to find out exact causes and effects of these changes. Numerical modeling …

The amount and patterning of precipitation beneath vegetation is determined by throughfall
and stemflow. Throughfall is the portion of precipitation that falls through, or drips from, the …

Abstract Information on global canopy rainfall interception loss is essential for understanding
the dynamics of land surface processes and the water cycle. In addition, large uncertainty …

Interception loss is a crucial part of the hydrological cycle and can influence the water and
energy balance between the soil surface and atmosphere. Fire alters forest structure and …

Many mechanisms aid invasive plants' competitive interactions. Yet, the extent to which
invasive plants alter canopy hydrometeorological mechanisms determining the quantity and …

Redistribution of precipitation water by plant canopies increases the spatial variation of net
precipitation at the surface, affecting soil moisture patterns, localized preferential flow, and …

Abstract Information for the interspecific variation in plant stemflow production may provide
important implications for their survival in drought conditions. Our objectives were to …

Land use composition and patterns influence the hydrological response in mountainous and
forest catchments. In plantation forest, management operations (FMO) modify the spatial and …

We examined the effect of strip thinning on rainfall interception (E i) in a 32-year-old
Japanese cypress plantation in central Japan. Strip thinning was conducted in the …
