Rain that reaches the ground through a canopy

Throughfall is the portion of precipitation that passes through a vegetation canopy to reach the ground, either by falling through gaps or by dripping from leaves and branches, as distinct from the water intercepted and evaporated or routed down stems as stemflow. Helvey and Patric's 1965 Canopy and litter interception of rainfall by hardwoods of eastern United States quantified throughfall and interception for eastern hardwood forests, partitioning gross rainfall among the canopy pathways. The referent is the water flux delivered to the forest floor beneath a canopy.[1]

Unit
Depth or volume of precipitation reaching the ground beneath the canopy (mm)
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Measured with gauges or collection troughs under the canopy and compared to open-field (gross) precipitation
