The ratio of plant transpiration to total terrestrial evapotranspiration (T/ET) captures the role
of vegetation in surface–atmosphere interactions. However, its magnitude remains highly …

In the context of increasing heat periods and recurrence of droughts, and thus higher soil
water depletion, we explored and quantified the role of understorey vegetation in ecosystem …

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

In dry environments, water availability is a major limitation to forest productivity while losses
to soil evaporation (E) are a significant component in ecosystem hydrology. We report on a 3 …

Partitioning of eddy covariance flux measurements is routinely done to quantify the
contributions of separate processes to the overall fluxes. Measurements of carbon dioxide …

In lieu of the decreasing availability of water for irrigated rice, we examined two alternatives
to traditional rice cultivation on puddled and saturated soil–maize and dry-seeded rice …

Partitioning ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) into soil evaporation (E) and transpiration (T)
is crucial for understanding hydrological processes. In this study, by using high‐frequency …

Water stress is a defining characteristic of Mediterranean ecosystems, and is likely to
become more severe in the coming decades. Simulation models are key tools for making …

Large scale afforestation mainly for erosion control or timber production and a very strict
logging ban policy in recent decades led to many over-dense stands and remarkable water …

The capability to partition evapotranspiration (ET) measurements into two components,
namely direct evaporation (E) from soil, leaf, and litter surfaces and transpiration (T) via …
