  abstract = {{E}vapotranspiration ({ET}) is a key process linking surface and atmospheric energy budgets, yet its drivers and patterns across wetlandscapes are poorly understood worldwide. {H}ere we assess the {ET} dynamics in 12 wetland complexes across {S}outh {A}merica, revealing major differences under temperate, tropical, and equatorial climates. {W}hile net radiation is a dominant driver of {ET} seasonality in most environments, flooding also contributes strongly to {ET} in tropical and equatorial wetlands, especially in meeting the evaporative demand. {M}oreover, significant water losses through wetlands and {ET} differences between wetlands and uplands occur in temperate, more water-limited environments and in highly flooded areas such as the {P}antanal, where slow river flood propagation drives the {ET} dynamics. {F}inally, floodplain forests produce the greatest {ET} in all environments except the {A}mazon {R}iver floodplains, where upland forests sustain high rates year round. {O}ur findings highlight the unique hydrological functioning and ecosystem services provided by wetlands on a continental scale. {W}etlands can affect regional climate by altering surface-atmosphere interactions. {T}his paper investigates drivers and patterns of evapotranspiration in {S}outh {A}merican wetlands, from the {A}mazon floodplains to the large {P}antanal system.},
