Abstract: In this paper,a comparative study was made to use the methods of Eddy Covariance and Bowen-Ratio Energy Balance(BREB) in continually measuring the evapotranspiration of broad-leaved Korean pine forest in Changbai Mountain from Sept.1 to Oct.31,2002.The results showed that in September,the evapotranspiration measured by Eddy Covariance and BREB was 83.1 and 87.9 mm,respectively,the error of BREB relative to Eddy Covariance was less than 6%,and the correlation between their daily total evapotranspiration was significant(0.78),suggesting that BREB was in good agreement with Eddy Covariance in forest evapotranspiration measurement.In October,the evapotranspiration measured by Eddy Covariance and BREB was 42.5 and 49.1 mm,respectively,the error of BREB relative to Eddy Covariance was up to 16%,and the correlation coefficient between their daily total evapotranspiration was 0.53,which suggested that the error of BREB method increased with decreasing vapour pressure gradient.In early and mid-September,evapotranspiration consumed 71% of total forest available energy,while most of the available energy was used for the transformation of sensible heat,and only 40% of total available energy was used by evapotranspiration after the forest was leafless.
