TL;DR: In this article, the heat balance of a homogeneous land surface in terms of available energy, a set of driving potentials, and parameters for the physical state of the soil and vegetation were modeled.
Abstract: The present model envisions the heat balance of a homogeneous land surface in terms of available energy, a set of driving potentials, and parameters for the physical state of the soil and vegetation. Two unique features of the model are: (1) the expression of the interaction of evaporation from the soil and from foliage by changes in the value of the saturation vapor pressure deficit of air in the canopy (the conclusions of this interaction being consistent with field observations); and (2) the treatment of sensible and latent heat exchange between the atmosphere and a soil consisting of two discrete layers.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential rate of transpiration from vegetation is calculated as a function of climatological variables, sometimes with the inclusion of a canopy resistance to water vapour diffusion.

TL;DR: In this article, diffusion theory is applied to a porometer cup to predict how fast the amount of vapour in the cup should increase when one end is covered by a porous surface such as a leaf with specified diffusion resistance.
