Abstract

The Penman-Monteith-Rijtema approach for cropped surfaces is used to estimate evapotranspiration of natural dune vegetation. Use is made of drain outflow data from lysimeters in Castricum, The Netherlands. One of the lysimeters is bare, another one is covered with dune vegetation. The lysimeter with bare soil is used to calibrate parameters for soil evaporation and to verify the soil physical data. The vegetation parameters were calibrated and verified for the lysimeter covered with dune vegetation. Subsurface flow and root water uptake were simulated with the model for unsaturated flow above a shallow water-table, MUST. This model is based on a pseudo steady-state solution of the flow equation. Results show the applicability of the method to estimate evapotranspiration of natural dune vegetation.
