Abstract

In this paper a method of direct measurement of the Real Evapotranspiration is presented (ETR) under different plant coverages, based on the differences of soil moisture measured using the TDR (Time Domain Reflectrometry) method, in a temporary interval of 15 days and its comparison with the values calculated by Thornthwaite’s method, that uses the average temperature as fundamental parameter. The results demonstrate the validity of the used method, being obtained values of Real Evapotranspiration lightly superior to the ones calculated for Thornthwaite’s method, but with important differences depending on different coverages, which indicate a differentiated behavior of evapotranspiration.
