Abstract
Partitioning of gross rainfall into throughfall, stemflow, and rainfall interception were assessed in clove plantation during rainy season in Saba River Basin, Bali, Indonesia. Canopy openness did not appear to be the main factor that affected the amount of throughfall and stemflow. Rainfall partitioning showed that the throughfalltookmajor contribution in gross rainfall, while stemflow only took small portion in gross rainfall. Managed clove plantation gave slightly larger interception rate than natural forest in Saba River Basin. Cultivation method improvement is required to improve the hydrologic services of clove plantation.
