  abstract = {{T}his paper is part of a study on land surface processes at the forest-atmosphere interface. {T}ropical forests evapotranspirations were calculated knowing the solar energy and rain distributions, soil water storage and the plant characteristics. {A}tmospheric water vapor originating from these forests are found to be 60 to 75 % of the total rainfall. {T}he recycling of water evaporated from the tropical forest is very important : water vapour is driven northward by southwesterlies inside the continent where it is then reprecipitated. {D}eforestation, on a large scale; has induced modifications in the global land surface processes : more sensiible heat is transferred to the atmosphere due to the evolution of the physical and biological characteristics of the soil-plant interface.
