Collaborative Research: Fluxes, characteristics, and drivers of particulate washout from forest canopies by rainfall

This project aims to extend current macrosystem biological understanding to include throughfall (TF) and stemflow (SF) particulate concentrations, fluxes and composition, specifically addressing 3 major objectives: (1) estimate the net rainfall water and particulate mass flux across forest types; (2) characterize the particulate composition of TF and SF; and (3) identify major drivers of macrosystem variability in net rainfall particulate flux and composition.
