Rainfall partitioning by vegetation in China: A quantitative synthesis

Yafeng Zhang et al.

Summary: The partitioning of rainfall by vegetation alters hydrological and biogeochemical fluxes between vegetation and soil. This study compiled a comprehensive dataset of rainfall partitioning in different vegetation types in China and summarized the relationships between rainfall partitioning and rainfall amount. The results showed that rainfall partitioning could be explained by rainfall amount, with linear functions most often reported as the best-fit functions. Significant differences were found in the rainfall thresholds for initiating stemflow and throughfall, and in the proportions of stemflow and throughfall between forests and shrublands. Biotic and abiotic predictors had significant effects on rainfall partitioning.

Contrasting effects of low-severity fire on stemflow production between coexisting pine and oak trees

Lei Su et al.

Summary: As climate change intensifies, the occurrence of forest fires is expected to increase. This study examined the effects of low-severity fire on stemflow production in a mixed forest. The results showed that the fire significantly changed stemflow yield and had different impacts on oak and pine trees. Oak trees became less effective in funneling rain to the forest floor after the fire, while burned pine trees continued to drain more stemflow due to their flaky bark and higher canopy openness. The reduction in stemflow efficiency after the fire limited the transfer of water and nutrients from the canopy to the soil, impacting the competitiveness of oak trees.

Anthropogenic pressures decrease structural complexity in Caucasian forests of Iran

Kiomars Sefidi et al.

Summary: The study found that high anthropogenic pressure in the Arasbaran Protected Area led to aggregated tree distribution, uniformity in tree sizes, and less heterogeneous forest structure. The indices most sensitive to anthropogenic pressure were diameter differentiation, height differentiation, Gini coefficient, and structural diversity. Regular monitoring of these indices should be integrated into conservation management plans for the area.

Assessment of ecological capability and decline of Quercus castaneifolia CAM habitat in Hyrcanian forests (Case study: Savadkooh)

S. Babaie Kafaky et al.

Summary: Through a study of the Hyrcanian forest in northern Iran, the ecological capability of the forest and factors affecting its degradation were determined. Livestock grazing, climate change, land use change, and diseases were found to play key roles in the decline. The decline map developed, along with the capability map, can assist in managing oak forests by reducing decline factors and prioritizing areas for conservation and support programs.

Hydrological fluxes from Sal (Shorea robusta) forests under various disturbance gradients of Himalayan foothills

J. M. S. . Tomar et al.

Summary: Human disturbances have a significant impact on forest hydrology and nutrient cycling in Sal forests in the Himalayan foothills. Stemflow, throughfall, interception loss, and runoff are the major components of forest hydrology. The average stemflow and runoff were higher in undisturbed forests, while the average throughfall was higher in disturbed forests. Nutrient enrichment through stemflow and throughfall was significantly higher compared to incident rainfall. Canopy spread, ground biomass, and crown projection area were important parameters affecting rainfall partitioning components and runoff.

Stable isotopes reveal differences in climate sensitivity and physiological responses between dieback and healthy trees in a shelter forest

ShouJia Sun et al.

Summary: Tree-ring stable isotopes play a crucial role in understanding the eco-physiological mechanisms of drought-induced forest decline. The study showed that the dieback trees had lower tree-ring width, higher stable isotopes values, and lower intrinsic water-use efficiency compared to the healthy trees. The dieback trees were less sensitive to climate conditions but more affected by physiological activities.

A global synthesis on the effects of thinning on hydrological processes: Implications for forest management

Antonio D. del Campo et al.

Summary: Forest thinning has significant effects on hydrological processes, but these effects vary depending on forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables. Thinning increases net precipitation, soil moisture, and tree-level water use, but decreases stemflow and transpiration. Thinning intensity of around 50% of stand density is the threshold for significant impact on hydrological processes.

The performance of the reformulated Gash rainfall interception model in the Hyrcanian temperate forests of northern Iran

Touba Panahandeh et al.

Summary: This study examines the applicability of the Reformulated Gash Analytical Model (RGAM) for estimating rainfall interception (I) in reforested areas across the Hyrcanian temperate forests in northern Iran. The results show that different tree species have an impact on rainfall interception. The Norway spruce is the most effective species in reducing erosion and surface runoff. Average-based calculations indicate that evergreen needle-leaved forests have lower free throughfall coefficient but higher canopy storage capacity and evaporation rate compared to deciduous broad-leaved forests. The RGAM satisfactorily estimates I for all species except for the Acer velutinum stand.

Global patterns of rainfall partitioning by invasive woody plants

Juan I. Whitworth-Hulse et al.

Summary: Invasive species have the potential to alter hydrological processes by changing the local water balance. Our study found that specific morphological attributes of invasive species determine higher localized water inputs, representing an ecohydrological advantage in water-limited ecosystems. This suggests that the ecological role of stemflow, throughfall, and interception should be considered in future plant invasions research.

From the comfort zone to crown dieback: Sequence of physiological stress thresholds in mature European beech trees across progressive drought

Lorenz Walthert et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop an empirical stress-level scheme to describe the physiological response of mature European beech trees to drought. The researchers identified five stress levels based on the observed responses to decreasing water potential. They found that exposure to stress levels III-V for only one month was enough to trigger substantial crown dieback in beech trees on shallow soils, while deep soil with high water holding capacity prevented drought stress in beech trees.
