Improving Representation of Deforestation Effects on Evapotranspiration in the E3SM Land Model

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) plays an important role in land‐atmosphere coupling of energy, water, and carbon cycles. Following deforestation, ET is typically observed to decrease substantially as a consequence of decreases in leaf area and roots and increases in runoff. Changes in ET (latent he...
