Since 1997 main components of the water balance were examined additionally: gross and net precipitation, stemflow, sapflow and soilwater were measured. The main goal was to determine the water and energy balance for the study site as a contribution to an interdisciplinary ecological research project and to assess consequences of possible land use change. In this study the most important link between energy balance and hydrological cycle, the evapotranspiration, was determined independently by two different approaches.
