Fig. 6: Spatial patterns of evapotranspiration across forest and non-forest areas in Amazon floodplain environments.
From: Patterns and drivers of evapotranspiration in South American wetlands
A Long term evapotranspiration (ET) (2000-2015) across different land covers in the Central Amazon floodplains. The lower reaches are associated to larger cover of non-forest vegetation (savanna and grasslands) and higher flood fraction. B Land cover. Note that forest refers to both flooded and non-flooded areas. C Flooding (maximum and minimum inundation extent, considering high and low water periods derived from the LBA-ECO LC-07 Wetland Extent, Vegetation, and Inundation: Lowland Amazon Basin dataset - https://daac.ornl.gov/LBA/guides/LC07_Amazon_Wetlands.html; Hess et al.94). D River longitudinal profile showing ET, flood fraction and forest cover. Forest land cover data for the year 2009 from the Project MapBiomas - Collection 4.1 of Brazilian Land Cover & Use Map Series, accessed on 1st Dec 2021 through the link https://plataforma.mapbiomas.org/.
