Forests, Vol. 15, Pages 623: The Impact of Canopy on Nutrient Fluxes through Rainfall Partitioning in a Mixed Broadleaf and Coniferous Forest Forests doi: 10.3390/f15040623 Authors: Junhui Yang Anzhi Wang Lidu Shen Guanhua Dai Yage Liu Yuan Zhang Wenli Fei Jiabing Wu Rainfall constitutes the primary input in the nutrient flux within forest ecosystems. The forest canopy modulates this flux by partitioning rainfall and selectively absorbing or adding nutrients. In mixed forests, variation in tree species composition regulates rainwater chemical composition, potentially leading to spatial heterog ..read more
