1948 P. B. Rowe Infl. Woodland Chaparral on Water & Soil in Central Calif. 46 Measurements on the undisturbed plots for the year 1937–38 showed that the precipitation reaching the ground in the open was 61.15 inches; precipitation reaching the ground as throughfall (rainfall passing or dripping from the brush cover) was 49.06 inches.
1949 E. L. Hamilton & P. B. Rowe Rainfall Interception by Chaparral in Calif. 17 For the two years of high precipitation, throughfall was 80 percent, stemflow 15 percent, and interception loss 5 percent of the annual rainfall.
1985 Austral. Jrnl. Forest Res. 15 309 Loss of organic matter after 2 years was strongly correlated with the amount of water reaching the forest floor as throughfall.
