RAINFALL PARTITIONING IN FRAGMENTS OF CERRADO VEGETATION AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF CONDUCTION OF NATURAL REGENERATION
ABSTRACT In order to contribute to the discussion on how forest development interacts with hydrological processes related to rainfall partitioning, we aimed to characterize the rainfall interception (RI), throughfall (Tf), stemflow (Sf), and net precipitation (NP) in three Cerrado areas at different...
