Popis: The relationship between the inclination of south and north facing slopes, and the transpiration from vegetation is evaluated using numerical models for the dry season of the subtropical region of Israel. The accumulated transpiration for the dry season from canopies along south facing slopes was found to be maximized with a slope of about 22.5°. On north facing slopes, transpiration decreased monotonically with increasing slope angle. The relationship between the incoming solar radiation on the slopes and the resultant transpiration patterns is evaluated.
