Funded Activity Summary

Investigating water and energy fluxes partitioning on heterogeneous terrain. This project aims to develop, implement and evaluate a field monitoring technique building upon new theoretical developments to quantify evaporation and transpiration from soil and vegetation using a limited number of measurements of temperature, humidity and net radiation above soil and canopies. This new technique aims to characterise in situ the effect of vegetation cover on the partitioning of energy and water fluxes in areas with complex terrain and patchy vegetation. The project aims to produce new field experiment designs for optimal use of available technology and without restrictive limitations of fetch size required by traditional approaches (for example, eddy-covariance, Bowen ratio method).
