Abstract

A rainfall simulator was used to measure the hydric balance of the rainfall interception processe of two semiarid mediterranean shrubs (Thymus vulgaris y Rosmarinus officinalis), gauged by «interception flow collection box». In thyme, the hydric balance measurings are snlitted in 44.8% througfall, 48.7% stemflow and 6.5% interception. In rosemary, those rates are 42.4%, 47.7% and 9.9% respectively. The hydric fluxes distrubution is comparable to obtained by direct measuring, but the rainfall interception losses are much less because of the high intensity (60 mm/h) of the simulation series..
