Abstract
Summary Evapotranspiration (ET), linking water, energy and carbon cycles, is frequently a major component of the water balance for terrestrial ecosystems. The accurate estimation of water loss by ET is very important for assessing water availability and requirements of terrestrial ecosystems, and making proper water resources plans, especially for wetland ecosystem management. In this study, eddy covariance technique was used to estimate the magnitude and dynamics of ET over a reed marsh in the Liaohe Delta, Northeast China. Diurnal variations of latent heat flux (LE) at different phenological stages showed similar patterns, with small nocturnal values (
