Details

Three sub-models are available:

• Sub-model in function transp_transpirationGranier was described in De Cáceres et al. (2015), and implements an approach originally described in Granier et al. (1999).

• Sub-model in function transp_transpirationSperry was described in De Cáceres et al. (2021), and implements a modelling approach originally described in Sperry et al. (2017).

• Sub-model in function transp_transpirationSureau was described for SurEau-Ecos v2.0 model in Ruffault et al. (2022).
