Abstract

Forest hydrology is a separate and unique branch of hydrology due to the special conditions caused by trees, and the understorey beneath them, comprising a forest. Understanding the forest, with trees that can grow over 100 m tall, may have crowns up to 20-30 m in diameter with roots 5-2010 m deep and spread as widely as the crowns, and have lifespans from 50 to 5000 years, presents unique challenges to science.
