Over a large fraction of the global landsurface, precipitation interacts with standing
vegetation or organic litter prior to reaching the mineral soil. This interaction has both …

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 …

Habitat fragmentation could potentially affect tree architecture and allometry. Here, we use
ground surveys of terrestrial LiDAR in Central Amazonia to explore the influence of forest …

Forest canopy rainfall interception (FRCI) is an essential hydrological process that governs
water and biogeochemical cycles in forest ecosystems. Identifying patterns and relationships …

Understanding the spatiotemporal behaviour of soil moisture in tropical forests is
fundamental because it mediates processes such as infiltration, groundwater recharge …

The complexity of rainfall-canopy interactions is likely to increase under extreme weather
events. Extreme conditions may affect forest structure and change the throughfall (TF) spatial …

Understanding the interaction between the hydrological cycle and native forests is essential
to improve watershed management and support ecological services. The objectives of this …

Aim Stemflow has been increasingly recognized as an indispensable component in water
and nutrient budgets within vegetated ecosystems. Here we aim to quantify the stemflow …

There is a significant gap in the literature concerning the potential of tropical soils to stock
carbon in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome. Furthermore, the key drivers responsible for …

Modeling canopy interception is fundamental for understanding the forests' role in local and
regional hydrology. In this study, canopy interception (CI), throughfall (TF), and stemflow …
