摘要:A simple regression model for calculating annual actual evapotranspiration (ET) and
potential evapotranspiration (PET), as well as annual transpiration (TR) of mature boreal
forests grown in the European part of Russia in the Holocene using paleoclimatic and
paleobotanical data (air temperature, precipitation, forest species compositions) is
presented. The model is based on nonlinear approximations of annual values of ET, TR and
PET obtained by the Levenberg–Marquardt method using the results of numerical
simulations of ET, TR and PET provided by a process-based Mixfor-SVAT model for
forests with different species compositions under various thermal and moistening
conditions. The results of ET, TR and PET reconstructions for the Holocene show
large variability and high correlation with the air temperature pattern. Minimal
values of ET and PET are obtained for the Younger Dryas cold phase (11.0–10.0 14C kyr BP) when ET varied between 320 and 370 mm yr − 1 and PET varied
between 410 and 480 mm yr − 1. During the Late Atlantic periods of the Holocene (4.5–5.1 14C kyr BP), ET and PET reached maximal values (ET: 430–450 mm yr − 1 and PET:
550–570 mm yr − 1).
