Comparison of rainfall interception models in isolated individuals of Pinus pinea and Cistus ladanifer

[EN] This paper presents a comparison of several simulation models of interception process commonly used in numerous studies, such as the classic versions of Rutter and Gash, also the version of Valente adapted by sparse forests. The aim is to analyze the applicability of different models in isolated especimens of two species of Mediterranean climate, Pinus pinea and Cistus ladanifer. The data collection was carried out in the watershed of “El Cabril” (Córdoba), from October 2010 to June 2015. The differences obtained between measurements and the results of the different models are less than 6%. Original version of Rutter model and original version of Gash model present a greater adjustment for pine and for cistus respectively.[ES] En este trabajo se realiza una comparación de varios modelos de simulación del proceso de interceptación, comúnmente utilizados en numerosos estudios, como son las versiones clásicas de Rutter y de Gash, además de la versión adaptada por Valente a bosques dispersos. El objetivo es analizar la aplicabilidad de los diferentes modelos en ejemplares aislados de dos especies de clima mediterráneo, Pinus pinea y Cistus ladanifer. La toma de datos se ha realizado en la cuenca de “El Cabril” (Córdoba), desde octubre de 2010 a junio de 2015. Las diferencias obtenidas entre las medidas de campo y los resultados de los diferentes modelos son inferiores al 6%, siendo el modelo de Rutter en su versión original el que mejor se ajusta en pino y el modelo original de Gash el que mejor se ajusta en el caso de la jara.Este trabajo se desarrolló en el en el marco del proyecto de investigación “Balance hídrico superficial en la cuenca hidrológica de El Cabril” financiado por ENRESA (Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos) y la Universidad de Córdoba. Los autores desean expresar su agradecimiento al personal del Departamento de Ingeniería de Suelos de ENRESA por su continua y eficaz colaboración.Pérez-Arellano, R.; Moreno-Pérez, MF.; Roldán-Cañas, J.
