A preliminary observation for quantifying detached stemflow

Detached stemflow has been defined as rainwater that breaks away from the and falls around trees throughfall. Quantitative measurements of detached were taken for two sample broadleaf on university campus. Zelkova, with smooth bark, a tree structure concentrates rainwater, producing large amount stemflow. A collection system installed trunk can capture amounts throughfall The had almost doubled in water height equivalent to at stand. Therefore, some generate much forest near trunk. In case Katsura tree, however, was low. attributable less than average This low generation assumed be due roughness bark. which attaches branches easily. Presumably, leaves intercept raindrops disperse surroundings. constitute quantity. It expected related closely mechanism.
