Specialty Definition: EVAPOTRANSPIRATION

DomainDefinition

Environment

The loss of water from the soil both by evaporation and by transpiration from the plants growing in the soil. (references)

Geography

The conversion of water, whether surface water, soil moisture(both by evaporation)or within plants(by transpiration)into water vapour that is released to the atmosphere. Source: European Union. (references)

Hydrologic

Combination of evaporation from free water surfaces and transpiration of water from plant surfaces to the atmosphere. (references)

Science

The sum of evaporation and plant transpiration. Potential evapotranspiration is the amount of water that could be evaporated or transpired at a given temperature and humidity, if there was plenty of water available. Actual evapotranspiration can not be any greater than precipitation, and will usually be less because some water will run off in rivers and flow to the oceans. If potential evapotranspiration is greater than actual precipitation, then soils are extremely dry during at least a major part of the year. (references)

Weather

Discharge of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere by evaporation from bodies of water, or other surfaces, and by transpiration from plants. (references)
