Evapotranspiration and its main controlling mechanism over the desert riparian forests in the lower Tarim River Basin

Abstract: Evapotranspiration (ET) and its controlling mechanism over the desert riparian forests in arid regions are the important scientific basis for the water resources managements of the lower reaches of the inland rivers of China. Nearly three years of continuous measurements of surface ET, soil water content at different depths and groundwater table over a typical Tamarix spp. stand and a typical Populus euphratica stand were conducted in the lower reach of the Tarim River. The ET seasonal trends in the growing se… Show more

“…One stand was dominated by Populus euphratica and the other by Tamarix spp. According to our analysis, the two mature riparian vegetation communities were not under water stress (Yuan et al 2015). Thus, measured surface ET over the two riparian stands can be regarded as the maximum ET under non-water-stressed conditions and can be used to parameterize the model and evaluate its performance.…”

“…Soil evaporation is often very weak due to nearly completely dry soil surfaces; as a result, its contribution to surface ET is miniscule ). According to a three-year observation of surface ET over desert riparian forests in the lower Tarim River basin of China, the spatial pattern of surface ET is mainly controlled by the vegetation leaf area index (LAI), and seasonal ET is controlled by plant phenology in the hyper-arid climate (Yuan et al 2015). In the lower reaches of endorheic rivers in China, vegetation coverage is often highly spatially variable, which results in significant spatial variations in surface ET.…”
