Low spatial and inter-annual variability of evaporation from a year-round intensively grazed temperate pasture system

Ecosystem scale measurements of evaporation (E) from intensively managed pasture systems are important for informing water resource decision making and validation of hydrologic models and remote sensing methods. We measured E from a year round intensively grazed temperate pasture system in New Zealand using the eddy covariance method for three years (2012⿿2014). Evaporation varied by less than 3% both spatially (770⿿783 mm) and temporally...
