Evapotranspiration refers to the process by which water is lost from earth's surface to the atmosphere that incorporates the combined functions of evaporation and plant transpiration. Synonyms of evapotranspiration include water loss, dehydration, plant perspiration, and aerial transpiration. Also, the terms moisture release, transpiration, evaporation, and vaporization are used interchangeably with evapotranspiration. Moreover, the hydrologic cycle and the movement of water, as well as the way it is exchanged between the land and atmosphere are also terms that can be related to this water cycle concept. With increased attention to climate change and water resource management, understanding the mechanisms of evapotranspiration has become crucial for scientists, farmers, and policymakers.
