({B}ound-{L}ayer {M}eteorol. 144, 243-262, 2012) for two and three components models. {T}he new formulation is an alternative and simpler form of the equations previously developed by {W}allace ({Q}. {J}. {R}. {M}eteorol. {S}oc. 123, 1885-1905, 1997). {I}t is sounder, in the sense that: (i) it accounts for the impact of stomatal characteristics (hypostomatous or amphistomatous) on evaporation expression; (ii) it allows one to eliminate the confusing "{P}enman-{M}onteith" type terms of {W}allace's formulation (which do no not represent the individual component evaporations). {A}dditionally, the steps of the mathematical demonstration are clearly specified, which was not the case for {W}allace's formulation. {I}n this way, a general conceptual framework is defined for evaporation from complex vegetation, from which simpler representations (1, 2 or 3 components models) and asymptotic limits (infinite identical components) can be inferred.}, keywords = {{E}vaporation formulation ; {M}ulti-species canopy ; {M}ulti-component model}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{J}ournal of {H}ydrology}, volume = {486}, numero = {}, pages = {315--320}, ISSN = {0022-1694}, year = {2013}, DOI = {10.1016/j.jhydrol.2013.01.038}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010060848}, }
