This is our video abstract for our AGU presentation (H55O-0915 by John Van Stan, Salli Dymond, and Anna Klamerus-Iwan). • Compared to leaves, bark is under-studied with regards to its role in the water cycle. This is an important knowledge gap as, unlike leaves, bark is ever-present in forest ecosystems and can represent a significant interface for water interaction. For example, a simple summation of stem area from vegetation data used in global land surface models reveals that the water cycle has an impressive bark surface area with which to interact. Bark is also porous, hygroscopic, present in litter layers from shedding, as well as on fallen woody debris, and performs a multitude of ecophysiological functions. • Link to the article that the presentation is based on: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/... • Link to the scientific article collection at Frontiers in Forests and Global Change: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-... • Link to the outreach article collection at Frontiers for Young Minds: https://kids.frontiersin.org/collecti... • Music credits are provided below: • Talky Beat by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Source: http://www.twinmusicom.org/song/265/t... • Artist: http://www.twinmusicom.org
