Which of the following can measure evapotranspiration?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only a weighing lysimeter can directly measure evapotranspiration by monitoring the change in mass of a plant, soil, and water system over time to calculate the amount of water lost through evapotranspiration. Rain gauges measure precipitation, anemometers measure wind speed, and evaporation pans measure only evaporation from a water surface, not transpiration by plants.
