Forest floor interception

[1] This throughfall is especially rich in nutrients which makes its redistribution into the soil is an important factor for the ecology and water demand of surrounding vegetation.

[1] The frequency of throughfall events, whether continuous or at irregular intervals, has a significant impact on water interception.

[1] Wind is a significant part of moisture removal and tends to remain low at the ground level contributing to a higher vapid deficit.

[1] This is especially true for forest stands that have an annual interception loss of a quarter or more of the gross rainfall.

[3] There is a lack of research on forest floor interception but it is quantifiable by lab or field methods.
