Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation Deciduous taxa and mixed hedges had the highest summer evapotranspiration rates.
Intervention effect Summer substrate moisture did not differ significantly among treatments.
Observation Both mixed species treatments followed Thuja in autumn and winter rainfall interception.
Association Winter canopy and leaf characteristics correlated with greater rainfall attenuation.
Intervention effect Crataegus had significantly lower throughfall than bare soil by spring 2023.
Intervention effect Thuja had significantly lower throughfall than bare soil by spring 2023.
Intervention effect Both mixed hedge treatments had significantly lower throughfall than bare soil by spring 2023.
