Abstract: Gross rainfall, throughfall, stemflow and interception losses were measured and studied for seven years (1996 – 2002) in an evergreen schlyrophylous species (maquis) stand of eastern Mediterranean region and specifically of southern – western Greece. The monthly values were analysed and compared with the corresponding values of gross rainfall through the year. Throughfall, stemflow and interception losses were regressed, on a single rain event scale, against a number of meteorological variables. All the regression equations were found significant for at least 0.05 probability level. The models were tested with the data of 2003 by means of comparison of predicted and observed values of these components. All models yielded satisfactory estimates, especially from rainfall events greater than 10 mm.
