Transpiration and the atmospheric boundary layer : progress in modeling feedback mechanisms

Creator:

Heinsch, Faith Ann

Abstract:

Simple models of transpiration, e.g., the Penman-Monteith equation, treat atmospheric conditions as driving variables. In fact, transpiration modifies temperature and humidity throughout the convective boundary layer, creating feedbacks that stabilize the water use of vegetation. This thesis concentrates on the new empirical relationships proposed by Monteith (1995), for developing simple...
