Abstract

Precipitation partitioning is a key process in the terrestrial phase of the water cycle since it regulates the amount of water available for other processes. Precipitation partitioning in throughfall, stemflow and interception loss was measured on a daily basis in a tropical pine-oak forest at 2,160 m elevation in the Cuitzeo watershed, located in central Mexico for 26 months. The recorded precipitation of 2,882 mm (Aug.28/2010 Oct.23/2013) included 242 events; 35.5% of rainfall events were < 5 mm and only 16.1% exceeded 20 mm. Throughfall (TF), stemflow (SF) and interception loss (E
