Ecohydrologic controls on vegetation density and evapotranspiration partitioning across the climatic gradients of the central United States

The soil-water balance and plant water use are investigated over a domain encompassing the central United States using the Statistical-Dynamical Ecohydrology Model (SDEM). The seasonality in the model and its use of the two-component Shuttleworth-Wallace canopy model allow for application of an ecol...
