文摘
- •
Small-scale variability in topography affects throughfall via species composition.
- •
Steeper slopes with overlapping canopies intercept the most rainfall.
- •
Steeper slopes also result in greater spatial variability in throughfall flux.
- •
Local features as determinants of water fluxes are important at longer time scales.
