Bark Effects on Stemflow Chemistry in a Japanese Temperate Forest II. The Role of Bark Anatomical Features

A fraction of rainfall drains to the soil surface down tree stems (as “stemflow”), and the resulting stemflow waters can be highly enriched with dissolved nutrients due to prolonged bark contact. To date, stemflow chemistry has been examined mostly in regards to the external morphology of the bark,...
