Evapotranspiration (ET) processes at the leaf‐to‐landscape scales have important controls and feedbacks for the regional and global climate systems through complex interactions among the Earth's atmospheric, hydrological, and biogeochemical cycles. Innovative methods, tools, and technologies for improved understanding and quantifying of ET are critical for adapting more effective management strategies to cope with the increasing demand for freshwater resources under global change.
