Evaporation of the miombo woodland of southern Africa: A phenophase-based comparison of field observations to satellite-based evaporation estimates

Through precipitation retention and evaporation (by both interception and transpiration), woodlands play a significant role in the global moisture cycle. Evaporation is the largest, but at the same time, the most difficult flux to observe in a woodland. Accounting for woodland evaporation is important for hydrological modelling for the efficient...
