## Abstract Redistribution of groundโlevel rainfall and interception loss by an isolated __Quercus ilex__ tree were measured over 2 years in a Mediterranean oak savannah. Stemflow, meteorological variables and sap flow were also monitored. Rainfall at ground level was measured by a set of rainโgaug
In this paper a simple technique for ยฎeld measurement of rain water loss arising from interception and water ยฏows associated with species of small Mediterranean shrub is described: the `interception ยฏow collection box'. This technique solves the problem of installing devices to control stemยฏow in sp
A rainfall interception measuring system was developed and tested for open-grown trees. The system includes direct measurements of gross precipitation, throughfall and stemยฏow, as well as continuous collection of micrometeorological data. The data were sampled every second and collected at 30-s time
