The interaction of soil physical and hydrometeorological characteristics determine the prevailing hydrological flow paths for a given geo-ecosystem. In the tropical rainforests of northeast Queensland and western Amazonia that interaction favors the participation of near- surface flow paths in stormflow generation whose chemical fingerprint is distinct from that of subsurface flow paths. Using the molar ratio of potassium to silica, to differentiate unambiguously between near- surface and subsurface flow paths, in an end-member mixing model, we show that the stormflow contribution of event water in the form of saturation overland flow, one of several possible near-surface flow paths, reaches 50%. The total contribution of near-surface flow paths, which also encompass pre-event water, can be considerably higher.
