Terrestrial water fluxes dominated by transpiration
Renewable fresh water over continents has input from precipitation and losses to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration .... The dominance of transpiration water fluxes in continental evapotranspiration suggests that, from the point of view of water resource forecasting, climate model development should prioritize improvements in simulations of biological fluxes rather than physical (evaporation) fluxes.
