This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

In the semiarid Loess Plateau region of China, ecosystems are frequently affected by water
shortages. Late spring and early summer are periods when forest communities tend to suffer …

In J apan, forests of M oso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens, an exotic invasive giant
bamboo) have naturalized and expanded rapidly, replacing surrounding broadleaved and …

Agricultural erosion leads to degradation of hydraulic properties and further affects
agroecosystem hydrological cycling. How such properties respond to intensities of erosion …

Warmer and drier climates over Amazonia have been predicted for the next century with
expected changes in regional water and carbon cycles. We examined the impact of …

As a drought tolerant plant, jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is commonly planted in semiarid
Northwest China under rainfed conditions. To clarify the response of water use to climatic …

To accurately quantify tree transpiration and determine related hydrologic and physiological
processes, it is important to have reliable information on environmental and physiological …

This study was undertaken to quantify interannual variations of total evaporation (ET) in a
tropical rainforest in Sarawak, Malaysia. To this end, we conducted 10-year meteorological …

Drought or dryness occurs due to the accumulative effect of certain climatological and
hydrological variables over a certain period. Droughts are studied through numerically …

Stem water potential (Ψstem) is considered to be the standard measure of plant water status.
However, it is measured with the pressure chamber (PC), an equipment that can neither …
