A stand of five conifers (Pinus sp.) bordering a gasoline service station was studied to estimate the methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) emission rate from gasoline-impacted groundwater. Groundwater was impacted with gasoline oxygenates MTBE and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) at combined concentrations exceeding 200,000 microg/L. Condensate from trees was collected in sealed environmental chambers and an...

Dune-interdune is the main landscape pattern of desert areas, such as the Horqin sandy land of Northeastern China. Exploring the temporal and spatial variation of the water balance is crucial for efficient vegetation restoration at the micro-landform scale. The SWMS-2D model was used to estimate the seasonal variations of the water balance including evapotranspiration, soil water storage change...

Incoming solar radiation derived from GOES-8 satellite observations, in combination with local meteorological measurements, were used to model evapotranspiration from a wetland. The wetland experiment was conducted in the Paynes Prairie Preserve, North Central Florida during a growing season characterized by significant convective activity. The satellite solar radiation measurements generally a...

The energy hypothesis predicts that, in regions of roughly equal area, energy flux per unit of area should be the prime determinant of species richness. In the case of plants, primary production represents realized energy capture. Potential evapotranspiration is a measure of community energy use and it is related to terrestrial primary productivity. The best correlate of the latter on regional ...

The calculation of evapotranspiration and its components transpiration and evapotranspiration is of crucial importance in dynamic crop-weather models, irrigation models and SVAT models. Although many approaches were developed and adapted for various applications and based on available input data, there is still a remarkable range of uncertainty related for a representative calculation. However,...

Sensitivity analysis to determine variations in evapotranspiration is much important considering a known variation in one of climatic variables. In this study, sensitivity of evapotranspiration from Penmann-Mantith, Penmann-Kimberly (1996), Penman-Kimberly (1972) and Penmann (1984)  and Hargrivs (1985) approaches to three climatic variations (maximum temperature, wind speed, solar radiation) wa...

nowadays artificial neural networks (anns) are being applied in several problems of water engineering where there is no clear relationship between effective parameters on the estimation of phenomenon. this research was used to measure aerodynamic data inside and outside greenhouse for estimating reference evapotranspiration in greenhouse by using anns. ann was used with perceptron multilayer st...

Climate change could potentially alter the hydrologic cycle processes, such as precipitation, which affect surface runoff, temperature and relative humidity and are closely related to evaporation and streamflow in water bodies and evapotranspiration from plants. An ensemble of data composed of a baseline (base climatology) of the 19611990 model and climate projections were run (from 2025 to 205...
