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

Core Ideas Understanding of preferential flow is improving, stimulated partly by new
technologies. Empirical process understanding has outstripped the capability of models to …

Aims The field of ecohydrology is providing new theoretical frameworks and methodological
approaches for understanding the complex interactions and feedbacks between vegetation …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR)–the movement of water from moist to dry soil through plant
roots–occurs worldwide within a range of different ecosystems and plant species. The …

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a
research hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology and Earth system science …

A large-scale laboratory study was conducted to test the influence of design and operating
conditions on the lifespan of stormwater biofilters. The evolution of hydraulic conductivity …

The Critical Zone (CZ) is a holistic framework for integrated studies of water with soil, rock,
air, and biotic resources in the near-surface terrestrial environment. This most …

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 …

Implementation of the Grain-for-Green project has resulted in significantly increased
vegetative cover on the Loess Plateau of China during the past few decades. The plant …

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