A review paper examining the quantitative importance of stemflow, and a stemflow modelling paper focused on juvenile lodgepole pine are presented in this thesis. Stemflow production information from 145 different studies is presented in table format with the addition of author-calculated funnelling ratios and plateau funnelling ratios when applicable. Plateau funnelling ratios were calculated to provide an estimation of the rainfall depth required to satisfy the storage capacity of a tree. Reference tables were used to identify inter- climatic, inter-genera, and intra-genera variations in stemflow production. Plateau funnelling ratios were used to identify shortcomings in current canopy interception models. Finally, the reference tables were used to identify areas of the stemflow literature where knowledge remains fairly weak. To date, no known studies have modelled stemflow production for juvenile lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia). Meteorological conditions, tree characteristics, and stemflow were sampled for two juvenile lodgepole pine stands over the course of the 2009 growing season. Step-wise multiple regression was used to assess which meteorological and tree architecture variables influenced stemflow production for each research plot. Once predictor variables were identified, models were produced for each stand and a generic model was produced that applied to both plots. A model employing precipitation depth and crown projection area successfully explained 71.3 % of the variation in stemflow production from sampled trees.

INTRODUCTION In the Pacific Northwest, where annual pre- cipitation ranges from about 40 to 120 inches per year in commercial forest areas, rainfall washing through the forest canopy returns a part of the nutrient capital of the ecosystem to the soil. Nitrogen is of special interest in this connection because it is the only nutrient ele- ment thus far found to appreciably stimulate growth of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) when applied as fertilizer (Gessel et al. 1965). A number of tree species throughout the world have been shown to contribute to the en- richment of throughfall and stemflow. 1 but in most studies of this phenomenon, only nonnitro- genous nutrient ions have been determined. Few investigators have determined N content in throughfall and stemflow (Voigt 1960b; Sviridova 1960; Mina 1965; Maruyama et al.

Incident rainfall is a major source of nutrient input to a forest ecosystem and the consequent throughfall and stemflow contribute to nutrient cycling. These rain-based fluxes were measured over 12 mo in two forest types in Korup National Park, Cameroon, one with low (LEM) and one with high (HEM) ectomycorrhizal abundances of trees. Throughfall was 96.6 and 92.4% of the incident annual rainfall (5370 mm) in LEM and HEM forests respectively; stemflow was correspondingly 1.5 and 2.2%. Architectural analysis showed that ln(funneling ratio) declined linearly with increasing ln(basal area) of trees. Mean annual inputs of N, P, K, Mg and Ca in incident rainfall were 1.50, 1.07, 7.77, 5.25 and 9.27 kg ha−1, and total rain-based inputs to the forest floor were 5.0, 3.2, 123.4, 14.4 and 37.7 kg ha−1 respectively.

  • Variability of Throughfall and Stemflow Deposition in Pine and Beech Stands ( Czarne Lake Catchment, Gardno Lake Catchment on Wolin Island )
    PrACE GEOGrAfICzNE, zeszyt 143 Instytut Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej UJ Kraków 2015, 85 – 102 doi : 10.4467/20833113PG.15.027.4628 Variability of throughfall and stemflow deposition in pine and beech stands ( Czarne lake catchment, gardno lake catchment on wolin island ) Robert Kruszyk, Andrzej Kostrzewski, Jacek Tylkowski Abstract : The research sought to determine the range of conversion of the chemical composition of precipitation in a beech stand located in the Gardno Lake catchment ( Wolin Island ) and a pine stand in the Czarne Lake catchment ( Upper Parsęta catchment, West Pomerania Province ). The presented results cover three hydrological years : 2012, 2013 and 2014. The research focused on the chemical composition of bulk precipitation ( in the open ), throughfall and stemflow ( in a forest ). The obtained results confirm that after precipitation has had contact with plant surfaces there is an increase in its mineral content. This is due to the process of enrichment of throughfall and stemflow with elements leached out of needles + 2+ + – + 2+ 2– – and leaves ( K , Mg ) and coming from dry deposition ( NH 4, Cl , Na , Mg , SO 4 , NO 3 ) washed out from plant surfaces. The research, based on the canopy budget model, indicates that in the case of potassium, its load leached out of needles and leaves accounted for 75.6 % and 73 %, respectively, of its total deposition on the forest floor. Calcium leaching was not detected in either of the two stands. In comparison with potassium, the range of magnesium leaching was smaller and amounted to 34 % under beech and 26.5 % under pine. As to loads of potassium and magnesium in the beech stand, they were more than twice as large as the ones observed in the pine stand.

BACKGROVm In temperate latitudes, interception as a component of the total evaporative loss from forests has been intensívely studíed (see, for example, Helvey & Patrick, 1965; HeJvey, 1967; Lawson, 7967; BJake, 1975; Calder, 1976, 1978) and its importance welj_ established. Field studies of the interception process have given results which, in rnany cases, have been expressed as empirical regression equations of the form I = aP + b G where I is the depth of water intercepted and lost by evaporaiion, P. is the gross rain b — fali incident upon the forest canopy, and a, b are regression coefficrents; see, for example, Penman (1963)- Many authors, however, Blake (1975) being one, expressed the relation in the alternative form (l/P„) = b/P+a expressing the fact that the percen- G G tage interception loss tends to be hyperbolically related to gross rainfall. In con - trast to this empirical approach, Rutter et ai.

  • Is Stemflow a Vector for the Transport of Small Metazoans from Tree Surfaces
    Ptatscheck et al. BMC Ecol (2018) 18:43 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-018-0198-4 BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Is stemfow a vector for the transport of small metazoans from tree surfaces down to soil? Christoph Ptatscheck* , Patrick Connor Milne and Walter Traunspurger Abstract Background: Stemfow is an essential hydrologic process shaping the soil of forests by providing a concentrated input of rainwater and solutions. However, the transport of metazoans by stemfow has yet to be investigated. This 8-week study documented the organisms (< 2 mm) present in the stemfow of diferent tree species. Because the texture of the tree bark is a crucial determination of stemfow, trees with smooth bark (Carpinus betulus and Fagus sylvatica) and rough bark (Quercus robur) were examined. Results: Up to 1170 individuals per liter of stemfow were collected. For rotifers and nematodes, a highly positive cor- relation between abundance and stemfow yield was determined. Both taxa were predominant (rotifers: up to 70%, nematodes: up to 13.5%) in the stemfow of smooth-barked trees whereas in that of the oak trees collembolans were the most abundant organisms (77.3%). The mean number of organisms collected per liter of stemfow from the two species of smooth-barked trees was very similar. A higher number of nematode species was found in the stemfow of these trees than in the stemfow of rough-barked oak and all were typical colonizers of soil- and bark-associated habitats. Conclusion: This pilot study showed for the frst time that stemfow is a transport vector for numerous small metazo- ans.
