Question

How can the evapotranspiration rate of a forest be measured?

Answer 1

Computer simulation models may be prepared using data obtained from individual sample plants used to find evapotranspiration by ordinary plant physiology experiments. Collect plants from forest for doing such experiments. Also other parameters like total precipitation, temperature, RH, soil moisture etc, stomatal size etc may also be considered for models.

Answer 2

This will tell you.
