Abstract
Evapotranspiration is an important parameter used to characterize the water cycle of ecosystems. To understand the properties of the evapotranspiration and energy balance of a subalpine forest in the southeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, an open-path eddy covariance system was set up to monitor the forest from November 2020 to October 2021 in a core area of the Three Parallel Rivers in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. The results show that the evapotranspiration peaked daily, the maximum occurring between 11:00 and 15:00. Environmental factors had significant effects on evapotranspiration, among them, net radiation the greatest (R2 = 0.487), and relative humidity the least (R2 = 0.001). The energy flux varied considerably in different seasons and sensible heat flux accounted for the main part of turbulent energy. The energy balance ratio in the dormant season was less than that in the growing season, and there is an energy imbalance at the site on an annual time scale.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Forestry Research (JFR), founded in 1990, is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal in English. JFR has rapidly emerged as an international journal published by Northeast Forestry University and Ecological Society of China in collaboration with Springer Verlag. The journal publishes scientific articles related to forestry for a broad range of international scientists, forest managers and practitioners.The scope of the journal covers the following five thematic categories and 20 subjects:
Basic Science of Forestry,
Forest biometrics,
Forest soils,
Forest hydrology,
Tree physiology,
Forest biomass, carbon, and bioenergy,
Forest biotechnology and molecular biology,
Forest Ecology,
Forest ecology,
Forest ecological services,
Restoration ecology,
Forest adaptation to climate change,
Wildlife ecology and management,
Silviculture and Forest Management,
Forest genetics and tree breeding,
