Abstract:Rainfall redistribution by forest canopy has been a study hotspot of ecological hydrology all the while, but studies on the horizontal spatial distribution of the throughfall under the forest canopy have so far been neglected. Examination of the spatial distribution of the throughfall is important to comprehend the eco-hydrological processes and the nutrient cycling in the forest. This study has been conducted in an Abies faxoniana forest in the Wolong nature reserve in the western part of the Sichuan provi...
