Abstract:Stemflow is a conduit for the transport of canopy-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) to the forest floor. This study examined the character of stemflow DOM for four tree species over four phenophases (leafless, emergence, leafed, and senescence for deciduous species and leafed-winter, emergence, leafed- spring/summer, and senescence for coniferous species) occurring in temperate forests; namely, Betula lenta L. (sweet birch), Fagus grandifolia Ehrh. (American beech), Liriodendron tulipifera L. (yellow popl… Show more
