Given that atmospheric deposition is the first source of nutrient input into forest ecosystems, and precipitation partition serves as a nutritional mainly when there an interaction with canopy, objective present study was to quantify nutrients rainfall, throughfall stemflow in Eucalyptus urophylla stands partial exclusion (E) without (WE) throughfall. The experiment conducted northeast state Pa...

Monoculture forests formed by Fagus sylvatica L. belong to one of the most sensitive forest ecosystems, mainly at low altitudes. Cultivation this species in mixed stands should reduce its sensitivity drought vegetation period, which is why we researched water balance pure-beech (i.e., monoculture) and beech–oak–linden mixed) forest. This research was carried out Drahanská vrchovina Czech Republ...

Few investigations have examined the structural controls of bark on its water storage and influence stemflow, despite being considered a critical component that determines time magnitude this process. This study seeks to answer question: Do absorbability wettability estimates correlate with stemflow yield? We hypothesized (1) are correlated, is, greater implies wettability, (2) high rates has s...

Atmospheric rainfall is one of the major sources water and nutrient inputs in forest stands. Understanding atmospheric partitioning hydrochemical fluxes stands critical for management monitoring regional pollution, especially high N deposition regions. In this study, annual collections were implemented to investigate partitioning, element concentrations, an evergreen coniferous (ECF) stand, a d...

The size of stemflow infiltration areas around the boles trees is currently a topic interest and debate within hydrologic community. There gap in our knowledge many wooded ecosystems need for more than few studies that have examined directly. Hence, this field study was specifically undertaken to mitigate existing data by providing direct measurements from high stemflow-producing American beech...

Stemflow from Japanese red cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) enters forest soil at a low pH. We evaluated the responses of the root system of Japanese red cedar saplings to acidic conditions, used to simulate this situation, in two different growth media, a brown forest soil (BS) and a Yahagi sand (YS). Soils were acidified by the addition of solutions at pH 2.0, 3.0 and 5.5 (control). Root morpholo...

The interception of precipitation by plant canopies can alter the amount and spatial distribution water inputs to ecosystems. We asked whether canopy could locally augment shrubs their crowns funneling (freshwater) as stemflow bases, in a wetland where relict overstory trees are dying persisting only grow on small hummocks that sit above mesohaline floodwaters. Precipitation, throughfall, were ...

We present the first investigation of the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) compared to total organic matter (TOM, consisting of DOM, < 0.45 μm and particulate organic matter 0.45 μm < POM < 500 μm) in throughfall, stemflow and forest floor leachate of common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) forests using solid-state C nuclear magnetic resona...
