Evapotranspiration.

Land-Atmosphere Interactions, Evapotranspiration

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the movement and transfer (i.e., flux) of water as a liquid at the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere as a gas. ET is a combination of open water evaporation and plant transpiration ( , which is the Sublimation transition of solid water (i.e., ice, snow) to vapor due to low atmospheric pressure (i.e., high altitude), dry air and high sunlight, is generally considered s...

Evapotranspiration of Partially Vegetated Surfaces

Evapotranspiration from Northern Semiarid Grasslands

Proper grazing management reduces ET from grasslands by reducing transpiration losses and grazingManagement of forage production for livestock grazing on semiarid induced surface energy relationships that reduce evapograsslands depends on water availability. Evapotranspiration (ET) ration (Svejcar and Christiansen, 1987; Wraith et al., was measured using the Bowen ratio energy balance method on...

Evapotranspiration of Pineapple in Hawaii.

The plants of the cerra(lo and caatinga ecological provinces of Brazil, the suggested original home of pineapple (3), have many and varied mechanisms whereby they have adapted to the frequent development of moisture stress. The pineapple planit presenits a peculiarly interestinig combination of those traits that have been l)ropose(l for xerophytic and sc!erophyllous plants (10, 15). Preferentia...

Fuzzy-Probabilistic Calculations of Evapotranspiration

Evaluation of evapotranspiration uncertainty is needed for proper decision-making in the fields of water resources and climatic predictions (Buttafuoco et al., 2010; Or and Hanks, 1992; Zhu et al., 2007). However, in spite of the recent progress in soil-water and climatic uncertainty quantification, using stochastic simulations, the estimates of potential (reference) evapotranspiration (Eo) and...
