Evapotranspiration of a tropical rain forest in Xishuangbanna, southwest China.

The article presents a study which focuses on the ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) of tropical rain forest located in Xishuangbanna, China. The study conducted an eddy covariance flux measurement at the rain forest wherein a three-dimensional sonic anometer was used to measure the wind speed and virtual temperature of eddy covariance. The study reveals that soil water availability in hot-dry season can control the ET wherein it ET is also considered to be higher during dry season.
