Modelling runoff at the plot scale taking into account rainfall partitioning by vegetation: application to stemflow of banana (<i>Musa</i> spp.) plant

Rainfall partitioning by vegetation modifies the intensity of rainwater reaching the ground, which affects runoff generation. Incident rainfall is intercepted by the plant canopy and then redistributed into throughfall and stemflow. Rainfall intensities at the soil surface are therefore not spatiall...
