“…With this in mind, the Simple Method [15] proposed a simple equation (Equation (2)) relating the PET to solar radiation. (2) where Rs is solar radiation in MJ/m 2 -day, λ is the latent heat of vaporization of water at 20 °C (2.45 MJ/kg), and K1 is a calibration coefficient equal to 0.53 for the South Florida region [33].…”

“…The factor of 1000 is used to convert KW to MW and the (24 × 3600) term corresponds with the number of seconds in one day. The converted values were then used to calculate PET (mm/day) for each day using the Simple Method in Equation (2).…”

“…They provide erosion protection to coastlines and sediment control for large areas [1]. Wetlands provide extensive habitats for a wide range of wildlife, including nursery habitats for numerous fish and shellfish species and breeding, nursing, and migratory habitat for large numbers of water birds [2]. Wetlands are habitats for many species of reptiles, amphibians, some mammals, and a myriad of insect and plant species [1][2][3].…”

Evapotranspiration is a reliable indicator of wetland health. Wetlands are an important and valuable ecosystem on the South Florida landscape. Accurate wetland Actual Evapotranspiration (AET) data can be used to evaluate the performance of South Florida's Everglades restoration programs. However, reliable AET measurements rely on scattered point measurements restricting applications over a larger area. The objective of this study was to validate the ability of the Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEB) approach and the Simple Method (also called the Abtew Method) to provide large area AET estimates for wetland recovery efforts. The study used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor spectral data and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) solar radiation data to derive weekly AET values for South Florida. The SSEB-Simple Method approach provided acceptable results with good agreement with observed values during the critical dry season period, when cloud cover was low (rave (n = 59) = 0.700, pave < 0.0005), but requires further refinement to be viable for yearly estimates because of poor performance during wet season months, mainly because of cloud contamination. The approach can be useful for short-term wetland recovery assessment projects that occur during the dry season and/or long term projects that compare site AET rates from dry season to dry season.

Mountain regions are an important regulator in the global water cycle through their disproportionate water contribution. Often referred to as the “Water Towers of the World”, mountains contribute 40%–60% of the world's annual surface flow. Shade is a common feature in mountains, where complex terrain cycles land surfaces in and out of shadows over daily and seasonal scales, which can impact water use. This study investigated the turbulent water and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes during the snow‐free period in a subalpine wetland in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, from 7 June to 10 September 2018. Shading had a significant and substantial effect on water and CO2 fluxes at our site. When considering data from the entire study period, each hourly increase of shade per day reduced evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary production (GPP) by 0.42 mm and 0.77 g C m−2, equivalent to 17% and 15% per day, respectively. However, the variability in shading changed throughout the study, it was stable to start and increased towards the end. Only during the peak growing season, the site experienced days with both stable and increasing shade. During this time, we found that shade, caused by the local complex terrain, reduced ET and potentially increased GPP, likely due to enhanced diffuse radiation. The overall result was greater water use efficiency during periods of increased shading in the peak growing season. These findings suggest that shaded subalpine wetlands can store large volumes of water for late season runoff and are productive through short growing seasons.

Soil microbes greatly contribute to the regulating of phosphorus (P) cycling, which plays a significant role in maintaining wetland ecosystem processes and function. The microbial functional diversity of soil P cycling in response to wetland degradation, however, remains largely unknown. We used metagenomic sequencing to investigate the microbial community and genes related to soil P cycling in un-degraded marshes and meadows derived from long-term marsh degradation in the Lalu alpine wetland of the Tibetan Plateau. When the marsh degraded into meadow, organic P (OP) mineralization genes increased while genes related to P-starvation response regulation decreased. Proteobacteria (20.5-74.3%) and Actinobacteria (5.6-59.7%) were the dominant phyla in soils and were also the main contributors (39.7-84.1% in total) to soil P-cycling genes. Soil pH was the primary factor influencing the P-cycling functional genes. Soil pH negatively affected the genes related to the P-uptake and transport system and had negative effects on the genes related to P-starvation response regulation, OP mineralization, and inorganic P solubilization. These findings may deepen our understanding of the biogeochemical process of soil OP and may be beneficial for wetland management.
