Partitioning evapotranspiration with concurrent eddy covariance measurements in a mixed forest (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract
Plants play a critical role in climate regulation through CO2 assimilation and water vapor exchange. This study addresses the challenge of partitioning evapotranspiration into evaporation and transpiration in a mixed deciduous forest in Switzerland using two years of concurrent eddy covariance measurements. Results reveal that transpiration comprises about 80% of total evapotranspiration, indicating a significant role of biological processes over physical evaporation, with low inter-annual variability observed, suggesting effective water resource access and stomatal regulation.
