Effect of Vegetation Coverage on Evapotranspiration Estimate of Swamp Wetlands

Lu Tian

Abstract

The effect of vegetation coverage on ETof swamp wetlands in northern of China was studied based on the analysis of vegetation coverage of swamps.The results showed that the top vegetation coverage was 95%,and the lowest was about 5%～10%.The swamps with coverage above 70% were 75% of the total swamps,and the swamps with coverage below 50% were only 12%of the total.Considering the vegetation coverage,actual ETthat was greater than the potential ET was 82% of the total the swamps;actual ETthat was 2times greater than the potential ET was 58% of the total swamps.
