Abstract Evaporation plays an essential role in the water cycle, influencing local and regional climates while directly impacting water availability in lakes. However, directly measuring evaporation over water bodies remains challenging due to the high costs of installing and maintaining the required in situ instrumentation.

A closed‐form equation linking soil moisture and evaporation
Abstract Estimating evaporation from surface soil moisture data poses a persistent challenge for modeling the hydrological cycle. Deriving a physics‐based solution to convert single‐probe soil moisture data into evaporation estimates has always been challenging. Such an equation would enhance hydrological models and remote sensing methods.

Abstract Large‐scale canopy models utilizing satellite data typically rely on simplified models to describe radiation absorption by vegetation. However, these models' accuracy can be limited when applied to heterogeneous row‐oriented canopies because of assumptions of canopy homogeneity, or oversimplification of the impacts of heterogeneity. This study

The Importance of Spatial Variability in Estimating Evapotranspiration From a Subalpine Wetland
Spatial trends in evapotranspiration were quantified in a sub‐alpine wetland, with higher rates occurring in the wetlands' western portion. This spatial variability suggests care must be taken when estimating evapotranspiration via point measurements. The METRIC approach to modelling evapotranspiration performed reasonably well and should be explored ...

Variation in Water‐Use Strategies of Prosopis velutina in Southern Arizona
ABSTRACT In semi‐arid regions of the United States, mesquite trees are widely distributed across the landscape and play a pivotal ecological role, influencing hydrological processes and contributing to biodiversity. This is especially true in riparian areas, where understanding the adaptive water‐use strategies of facultative phreatophytes is essential
