Deskripsi

Article Highlights This manuscript draws attention to the spatial heterogeneity in Amazon forest mosaic and its effects on the ecosystem exchanges; The inclusion of a lumped unconfined aquifer model is essential to simulate properly the water balance in the valley environment; The results validate INLAND in a typical tropical forest ecosystem and indicate that previous works might have overestimated evapotranspiration.
