Comparative study of current evapotranspiration estimation methods on humid soils of an Andean páramo basin

Estimation of the evapotranspiration component in sensitive ecosystems such as the Andean moor is of importance to understand hydrological cycle and approximate the energy balance in wetlands considered vital for the conservation of water resource. There are currently several methodologies for the estimation of current evapotranspiration, two of them: the method of measuring water vapor Methods The study aims to estimate the current evapotranspiration (ETA) in an Andean Paramo Pajonal through hydrological balance methods and water vapor transfer and evaluate its applicability. The results of the research will be strategic to increase knowledge about hydrology and energy balance in wetlands, as well as the effects that climate change could exert on the area of interest, which is encouraged in the National Plan of Good Living 2013-2017 of the National Government
