Abstract
⺠Water exchange in a black spruce forest on permafrost was examined over seven years. ⺠Evapotranspiration (E) was supported by soil thawing and snowmelt water. ⺠The presence of ice-rich permafrost helps the accumulation of water in the soil. ⺠Cumulative E did not show noticeable interannual variability. ⺠Whether ice-rich permafrost exists is an important factor for determining the magnitude of the variation in E in boreal forests.
