Mean annual transpiration from the plant canopy for the pre 1788 scenario

\n\n:Mean annual (00) and monthly (01a|12) transpiration (mm) from the plant\ncanopy for the period 1980-1999.Interpretation:Canopy transpiration is far\nmore spatially variable than potential evaporation, reflecting the effects of\nwater limitation in most areas of the continent. Both the annual mean and\nseasonal pattern broadly resemble the corresponding patterns for rainfall.\nCanopy transpiration maps have more acontrasta (relative variation) than the\ntotal evaporation or rainfall maps because transpiration is a small component\nof total evaporation in areas of low plant cover (the remainder being soil\nevaporation).The partitioning between soil evaporation and canopy\ntranspiration in the model is determined by leaf area index.Notes: These are\nmodel-based estimates from the BiosEquil model. Results are given for the\naBASEa (pre-1788) and aAGRICa (present day) conditions.
