Assessment of foliage clumping effects on evapotranspiration estimates in forested ecosystems
Abstract
In forested ecosystems, the aggregation of leaves into different spatial structures at the canopy, branch and shoot scales leads to a non-random spatial distribution of foliar elements. However, effect of foliar aggregation or clumping on the estimation of terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is not yet well understood. To evaluate the effect of foliar clumping, the process-based Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) is used to simulate …
