Nutrient deposition to the forest floor of an alluvial swamp in the North Carolina Coastal Plain was measured and compared with other wetland and upland forests. For the alluvial forest, annual ...

Rainfall redistribution by vegetation canopy is a critical ecohydrological process for nutrient replenishment in terrestrial ecosystems. In a paper published in Science China Earth Sciences ...

(1) The partitioning of incident precipitation into throughfall, stemflow and interception loss was assessed in a 14-year-old Picea sitchensis plantation in South Scotland. The tree crowns overlapped ...

They found that rain collection from pour points was 1.5 to 15 times that of the surrounding rainfall and throughfall, and was usually greater than stemflow.

Known as stemflow mixing, the bubbles are formed through a chemical reaction as rainwater flows down the tree. Mrs Cooper said she had "never seen anything like it before".
