Two models of interception loss have been tested against new field data obtained in widely-spaced stands of Sitka spruce trees. The Gash model and a modified version of the Rutter model, have been used with data from an automatic weather station, to predict interception loss using parameters obtaine

## Abstract Simple but effective models are needed for the prediction of rainfall interception under a full range of environmental and management conditions. The Liu model was validated using data published in the literature and was compared with two leading models in the literature: the Rutter and
A model for the prediction of interception loss in pine canopies is described. Central to the model is the storage of water on the canopy. This store is added to by intercepted rainfall and depleted by evaporation and drainage. Since the rates of evaporation and drainage vary with the amount of wate
Measurements are reported of rainfall, throughfall, stemflow, and derived interception losses made on a daily basis during two consecutive rainy seasons in a 4-5 year old and rapidly growing plantation forest of Acacia auriculiformis in a humid tropical environment. During the first observation peri
