Abstract

Partitioning of evapotranspiration (ET) into soil evaporation (E) and plant transpiration (T) poses a significant challenge. This study proposed a novel approach that combines eddy covariance, micro-lysimeter, and high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images within the flux footprint to optimize the canopy and soil resistances of the Shuttleworth-Wallace model (S-W) using a multi-objective optimization scheme. A two-year experiment was conducted at the Yucheng and Luancheng sites to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method for the summer maize-wheat winter system in the North China Plain. Our results showed that the S-W model with multi-objective optimization by using high-resolution UAV images within the flux footprint significantly improved the estimation accuracy of ET components compared with the traditional one- and two-objective optimization schemes. The estimation of ET, T, and E of our method had an average root mean square error of 0.67 mm day−1, 0.66 mm day−1, and 0.28 mm day−1, respectively. The optimized S-W model using high-resolution UAV data within the flux footprint produced better ET partitioning than that optimized using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. We then applied the proposed method to estimate ET and ET components in the North China Plain. This study highlighted the importance of utilizing multi-source data (especially high-resolution UAV images) and multi-objective optimization for accurate ET partitioning.
