M. Herbst et al., SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF TRANSPIRATION, SOIL EVAPORATION AND TOTAL EVAPORATION IN A MAIZE FIELD IN NORTHERN GERMANY, Journal of Experimental Botany, 47(305), 1996, pp. 1957-1962
Transpiration and evaporation in a maize field were measured by porome
ter, lysimeter and Bowen ratio techniques. All methods provide corresp
onding and complementary data for daily evaporation sums. It is propos
ed to use these techniques simultaneously in order to estimate reliabl
y the partitioning of evaporation between plants and soil.
