In a deciduous larch forest in eastern Siberia, the mean and standard deviation of the total evapotranspiration ( E) during May to September (day of year (DOY) = 121-274) for 2003-2006 were 181.5 and 26.4 mm, respectively. The interannual variation (IAV) in the total E was caused by the IAV in E for the canopy-foliated period (DOY = 164-253), not by the IAV in the dates of leaf expansion and leaf fall. For the years with higher total E, E in the canopy-foliated period was consistently higher, which corresponded to the higher soil water content in these years.
