Describes the process of precipitation passing through the plant canopy. This process is controlled by factors like: plant leaf and stem density, type of the precipitation, intensity of the precipitat [..]

Part of rainfall that reaches the ground directly through the vegetative canopy, through intershrub spaces in the canopy, and as drip from the leaves, twigs, and stems.

scientific-sounding name for rain going through a forest canopy.

precipitation falling through the vegetation cover to the surface. It is slowed by collisions with leaves and branches but does not get fully intercepted by them.

Rain that falls through and can be collected under the tree canopy of a forest. Throughfall interacts with leaves and materials present on leaves (e.g., dust, plant secretions, insect droppings, etc.) and therefore can be chemically very different from rain that falls directly to the surface.

(hydrology) The shedding of excess water from leaves to the ground.
