| Abstract: | A survey was made of seasonal changes in pH and electronic conductivity (EC) of precipitation inAlnus japonica (Thunb.) Steud. forest in Kiritapp mire, Hokkaido, Japan. The average pH of throughfall and stem flow was higher than that
of bulk deposition. When the pH of bulk deposition exceeded 5.5, however, pH of throughfall and stem flow was lower than that
of bulk deposition. The EC of stem flow was always higher than throughfall, and that of throughfall higher than that of bulk
deposition. The EC of stem flow was highest during the first defoliation period ofA. japonica. On the other hand, the differences in the EC of throughfall and bulk deposition was very few just after the first defoliation
period ofA. japonica. This implies that the chemical properties of throughfall and stem flow are strongly affected by the phenology of the plants. |
