520 3 |a Managing overland flow (OF) is essential in steep high-rainfall regions. A key strategy is to increase ground cover either naturally or through management. In Japanese cypress plantations, low ground cover increases OF and flood risks during intense rainfall. We analyzed OF and soil water content (SWC) in three plots of a Japanese cypress plantation under clear-cutting, 40% thinning, and control conditions over one year (2022–2023). The SWC remained consistently higher in the clear-cut plot than in the thinned and control plots. In contrast, the OF rate was greatest in the control plot (1.97%), intermediate in the thinned plot (1.03%), and lowest in the clear-cut plot (0.58%) with 5, 5, and 35% ground cover, respectively. Event-based analyses showed that in the clear-cut plot, OF was correlated with total rainfall (r = 0.597, p = 0.003), suggesting a tendency toward subsurface flow. Conversely, in the control plot, OF was correlated with 60 min of maximum rainfall (r = 0.90, p < 0.001), indicating Hortonian flow. No significant relationships were observed in the thinned plot, likely because of response variability. Our findings imply that ground cover dynamics following management regulate OF, emphasizing the importance of continued monitoring.
