The 13 pages that link to Potential evapotranspiration, each with the reason it gives.

• EvaporationRelated: It helps estimate how much water could evaporate when soil moisture is not limiting.

• EvapotranspirationCompared with: It represents atmospheric demand, unlike actual loss constrained by available water.

• Arid climateRelated: Aridity depends on how precipitation compares with this atmospheric demand for water.

• Desert ecologyRelated: Comparing it with precipitation helps quantify the dryness that structures desert habitats.

• Köppen climate classificationRelated: Temperature-dependent dryness thresholds approximate the demand for atmospheric moisture.

• DesertRelated: Comparing it with rainfall helps classify dry climates.

• Desert climateRelated: Comparing it with precipitation helps quantify climatic water deficit.

• Aridity indexRelated: It represents the atmospheric demand commonly compared with precipitation.

• Semi-arid climateRelated: High atmospheric demand can make modest rainfall insufficient to sustain forests.

• AridificationRelated: Rising atmospheric demand can intensify drying even without less rainfall.

• Deserts and xeric shrublandsRelated: Comparing it with precipitation reveals the climatic water deficit that shapes these biomes.

• DrylandsRelated: It helps explain why limited rainfall may not meet local atmospheric water demand.

• Desert (geography)Related: Comparing it with precipitation helps quantify climatic aridity.
