Interception, throughfall, and stemflow were studied in a pine forest to see how much rain is caught by the trees. The researchers used a model to estimate how different factors affect this process. They found that 12.6-21.0% of the rain is caught by the trees, while 77-83% reaches the ground and 1-6% flows down the tree trunks. The amount of rain caught by the trees depends on the type of rain, how fast it falls, how much evaporates, and the structure of the trees. The trees in this forest catch less rain because they have fewer leaves.
