Understanding changes in evapotranspiration during forest regrowth is essential to predict changes of stream runoff and recovery after forest cutting. Canopy interception (Ic) is an important component of evapotranspiration, howeverIcchanges and the impact on stream runoff during regrowth after cutting remains unclear due to limited observations. The objective of this study was to examine the effects ofIcchanges on long‐term stream runoff in a regrowth Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress forest following clear‐cutting. This study was conducted in two 1‐ha paired headwater catchments at Fukuroyamasawa Experimental Watershed in Japan. The catchments were 100% covered by Japanese coniferous plantation forest, one of which was 100% clear‐cut in 1999 when the forest was 70 years old. In the treated catchment, annual runoff increased by 301 mm/year (14% of precipitation) the year following clear‐cutting, and remained 185 mm/year (7.9% of precipitation) higher in the young regrowth forest for 12–14 years compared to the estimated runoff assuming no clear‐cutting. TheIcchange was −358 mm/year (17% of precipitation) after cutting and was −168 mm/year (6.7% of precipitation) in the 12–14 years old regrowth forest compared to the observedIcduring the pre‐cutting period. Stream runoff increased in all seasons, and theIcchange was the main fraction of evapotranspiration change in all seasons throughout the observation period. These results suggest that the change inIcaccounted for most of the runoff response following forest cutting and the subsequent runoff recovery in this coniferous forest.
