Water Budget on Various Land Use Areas Using NARR Reanalysis Data in Florida by Chi-Han Cheng, Fidelia Nnadi

“…However, soil moisture becomes primary source for evaporation in drier conditions, and differences in capacity of plants access water, often dictated by the rooting depth, can result in contrasting evaporative losses across vegetation types. Hence, the forest, which had the deeper roots, had lower soil moisture anomalies, but higher evaporation anomalies than agriculture area during the drought event.…”
