Spring evapotranspiration from low sagebrush range in Southern Idaho. Research technical completion report, project A-014-IDA Item Info

Approximately 75-85 percent of the 8-20 inches of average annual precipitation on southern Idaho rangelands is delivered in the form of winter snow and spring rain. During spring and summer months the annual charge of soil moisture necessary for forage production is depleted by the process of evapotranspiration, E.T. This report summarizes E.T. estimates made on the Reynolds Creek, Experimental Watershed, Reynolds, Idaho, during May and June 1969. These estimates were based upon measurements of meteorological parameters and evaluation of the energy balance. Objectives of the study were twofold: (1) To measure the magnitude of and variation in evaporative flux rates for low sagebrush range. (2) To identify those parameters of the microclimate which were significant in causing daily and hourly vairation in flux rates.
