Short summary
Forests can change the kinetic energy of rain below them. We built a new model that breaks down the canopy into layers, and tracks two types of raindrop: direct splashes and water dripping from leaves. The model was validated through nine rainfall events. The canopy doesn't always reduce the rain's force, and sometimes it increases it, depending on the specific structure of the leaves and branches.
