Abstract: During rainfall events, an appreciable part of the precipitation is intercepted by the vegetation surfaces. This part of rainfall, usually called interception capacity of the surface, is subsequently evaporated back to the atmosphere. Currently available distributed hydrological models require detailed knowledge of all components of hydrological cycle, including the interception and key parameters affecting its amount and rate of evaporation. In the present study the interception of the spruce forest canopy at an experimental catchment in the Bohemian Forest is examined.
Keywords: evaporation; free throughfall; hydrological balance of vegetation cover; interception loss; saturated interception capacity
