Many geoscientists now recognize stemflow as an important phenomenon which can exert
considerable effects on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of wooded ecosystems …

Pyrophytic oak landscapes across the central and eastern United States are losing
dominance as shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive, or opportunistic tree species encroach into …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) depositions have increased sharply since the industrial revolution.
Numerous authors forecasted severe impacts on forest ecosystem services and functioning …

Rainfall partitioning into stemflow, throughfall, and interception loss by vegetation alters
hydrological and biogeochemical fluxes between vegetation and soil. Here, we compiled a …

There is compelling evidence from aboveground observations that trees considerably affect
precipitation partitioning through the Critical Zone. However, due to the lack of appropriate …

Rainfall partitioning is an important part of the ecohydrological cycle, influenced by
numerous variables. Rainfall partitioning for pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and birch (Betula …

Despite some progress, the importance of stemflow remains obscured partly due to
computations emphasizing canopy interception loss. We advocate for two metrics—the …

Shade-tolerant, fire-intolerant tree species are expanding in historically oak-dominated
landscapes in the central and eastern US Once established, these species are hypothesized …

Trees have an indispensable role to play in the hydrological cycle. The process of
interception by tree canopies alters the magnitude, pathway, and intensity of rainfall …

Key message Hygroscopicity is a crucial element of bark water storage and can reach> 60%
