Interannual variation in evapotranspiration in an urban forest reserve with respect to drought

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionA warming global climate is expected to perturb the hydrological cycle, resulting in deviations in both frequency and duration of drought and thus being hypothesized to lead to interannual variation in evapotranspiration (ET).
