Ecohydrology of groundwater‐dependent grasslands of the semi‐arid Horqin sandy land of inner Mongolia focusing on evapotranspiration partition

The Horqin sandy steppe is an ecosystem where groundwater‐dependent grasslands are main components. To study the dynamics of soil water and evapotranspiration, and its partition into transpiration and soil evaporation, the SIMDualKc model was applied to two sites in the Agula eco‐hydrological study area, Inner Mongolia, China. This model adopts the dual crop coefficient approach to compute daily crop evapotranspiration (ET c ) and uses a...
