New paper in GRL
We recently published a paper in Geophysical Research Letters that investigates the relationship between the ratio of transpiration over evapotranspiration (T/ET) and leaf area index (LAI). We developed a function relating T/ET to the growing stage relative to the timing of peak LAI. LAI and growing stage collectively explained 43% of the variations in the global T/ET data set, providing a new way to interpret and model global T/ET variability.
