abstract = {The combined heatwave and drought in 2018 notably affected
the state and functioning of European ecosystems. The
severity and distribution of this extreme event across
ecosystem types and its possible implication on ecosystem
water fluxes are still poorly understood. This study
estimates spatio-temporal changes in evapotranspiration (ET)
during the 2018 drought and heatwave and assesses how these
changes are distributed in European ecosystems along
climatic gradients. We used the ET eight-day composite
product from the MODerate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) together with meteorological data
from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
(ECMWF ERA5). Our results indicate that ecosystem ET was
strongly reduced (up to $−50\%$ compared to a 10-year
reference period) in areas with extreme anomalies in surface
air temperature (Tsa) and precipitation (P) in central,
northern, eastern, and western Europe. Northern and Eastern
Europe had prolonged anomalies of up to seven months with
extreme intensities (relative and absolute) of Tsa, P, and
ET. Particularly, agricultural areas, mixed natural
vegetation, and non-irrigated agricultural areas were the
most affected by the increased temperatures in northern
Europe. Our results show contrasting drought impacts on
ecosystem ET between the North and South of Europe as well
as on ecosystem types.},
