| Abstract | Throughfall was monitored using tipping-bucket rain gauges to evaluate the spatial variability of rainfall reaching the forest floor. A total of 13 rain gauges were installed within the study plots. Each gauge had a resolution of 0.2 mm per tip and a 16.5 cm collector diameter. In the thinned plot, 10 rain gauges (B1–B10) were installed at 1 m intervals across the thinning rows, corresponding to the spatial arrangement of the soil moisture sensors. This configuration enabled throughfall to be measured from locations near residual tree stems and canopy-covered areas to more open positions near the center of the thinning rows. In the control plot, three rain gauges were installed beneath the closed canopy to characterize throughfall under unthinned stand conditions. Pulses from all gauges were recorded simultaneously at 10-min intervals. Gross precipitation outside the forest canopy was obtained from the AMeDAS Iitate Station and used as a reference for evaluating canopy interception and throughfall fractions. The observation period for throughfall analysis extended from May 1 to October 28, 2025. | |
