Characterization of dominant factors on evapotranspiration with seasonal soil water changes in two adjacent forests in the semiarid Loess Plateau

Different transpiration and growth patterns of the black locust plantation and natural oak forest on China's Loess Plateau

“…It is generally believed that transpiration is driven by ET 0 but limited by soil water (Li et al, 2017). Transpiration is primarily controlled by the energy-related factors with abundant soil water resources and is closely related to the hydrological factors under insufficient soil water (Chen et al, 2022). Therefore, stand transpiration is influenced by various factors and varies with time.…”
