摘要：This paper aims to integrate a numerical model, vegetation index, and regional evapotranspiration estimation to assess the water cycle in Zhalong wetland, China with the aid of remote sensing technologies. An interdisciplinary analysis was performed to study the eco-hydrological characteristics of the wetland ecosystem In particular, a new solution for solving the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) was developed and applied. This new solution method is based on a definition of the aerodynamic temperature in a two-layer ground surface structure. Following this new solution for TSEB, the outputs of the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm (SEBAL) may be used as the inputs for TSEB to avoid the complex calculations of the bulk boundary layer and soil surface resistance The new solution method makes the implementation of TSEB much easier when bi-directional thermal infrared remote sensing images are not available. Daily evapotranspiration and vegetation index of the wetland were calculated from six scenes of Landsat7/ETM+ remote sensing images acquired during 2001 and 2002 in our case study. Spatial distribution of daily evapotranspiration was also provided to help realize the wetland condition The seasonal changes of vegetation index and evapotranspiration for some typical wetland ground surfaces were analyzed and presented as well to explore the multitemporal variations of plant species holistically Ultimately, such integrative analysis aids in understanding the general biological patterns associated with these wetland vegetation cover, while specific situations of the wetland ecosystem can be recognized.
