مستخلص: The shortage of decades‐long continuous measurements of ecosystem processes limits our understanding of how changing climate impacts forest ecosystems. We used continuous eddy‐covariance and hydrometeorological data over 2002–2022 from a young Douglas‐fir stand on Vancouver Island, Canada to assess the long‐term trend and interannual variability in evapotranspiration (ET) and transpiration (T). Collectively, annual T displayed a decreasing trend over the 21 years with a rate of 1% yr−1, which is attributed to the stomatal downregulation induced by rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. Similarly, annual ET also showed a decreasing trend since evaporation stayed relatively constant. Variability in detrended annual ET was mostly controlled by the average soil water storage during the growing season (May–October). Though the duration and intensity of the drought did not increase, the drought‐induced decreases in T and ET showed an increasing trend. This pattern may reflect the changes in forest structure, related to the decline in the deciduous understory cover during the stand development. These results suggest that the water‐saving effect of stomatal regulation and water‐related factors mostly determined the trend and variability in ET, respectively. This may also imply an increase in the limitation of water availability on ET in young forests, associated with the structural and compositional changes related to forest growth. Summary statement: Water‐saving effect of stomatal regulation and water‐related factors mostly determined the trend and variability in ET, respectively. Increased drought response of ET may imply an increased limitation of water availability on ET in a young forest as it undergoes structural and compositional changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
