Abstract
This study presents the results of 2 years combined field measurements of water vapor exchange with the atmosphere and simplified model calculations at Lambir Hills National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (4 12'N, 114 02'E). The study site was located in a lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, a major type of Bornean tropical rainforest, where there is no clear seasonality in environmental factors such as radiation, temperature, vapor pressure deficits and precipitation; instead, unpredictable dry spells often occur throughout the year.
