Interception is the part of the rainfall that is captured by the earth's surface and which subsequently evaporates. How much of the precipitation evaporates depends on land cover characteristics, rainfall characteristics, and on the evaporative demand. Interception can amount up to 15-50% of precipitation, which is a significant part of the water balance. In this study we focus on canopy and forest floor interception. We measured interception of three dominant European vegetation types at three locations. In the Huewelerbach (Luxembourg) a beech forest has been investigated, in Westerbork (the Netherlands) grasses and mosses, and in the Botanical Garden (Delft, the Lsujgcnvrsh) b Cvsxc zkrp.
