Following our session on Evapotranspiration, I am listing some relevant resources beyond what we have already shared. Videos from previous GEOframe Schools are available here, and recordings from this year's school will be posted soon.
Core Reading
The most mature presentation of the theory, particularly for the latter part, is D'Amato and Rigon (2025a). A brief Claude-generated summary is available here. The paper addresses more complex cases than those presented at the School, but the first part—the big leaf model—is complete and clear.
For a more extensive treatment of this material, I recommend starting with the theses by Michele Bottazzi and Concetta D'Amato.

The Resistance Model for ET
An explanation of the resistance model for evapotranspiration can be found in The Marvelous Physics of Plants, beginning at slide 33. Unfortunately, the accompanying video is in Italian.
Differentiating Soil Behavior from Transpiration
Further lectures covering the differentiation of soil behavior from transpiration are available in the BACI course materials. The advantage of this resource is that the blog page contains step-by-step references to Bottazzi's thesis.
For Those Who Want to Go Deeper
The tool to use is GEOSPACE, which is fully documented in Concetta D'Amato's thesis and in D'Amato et al. (2025b). A Claude-generated summary of this paper is also available on the shared page.
