Driven by the projected increase in temperature,  evapotranspiration in Europe will increase further in the future. However, the potential increase could be partly offset by reduced transpiration from vegetation due to higher atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (EEA, 2016b). Most of the projected increase of evapotranspiration will occur during spring and summer, especially in southern Europe and southwestern France. In addition, it could also occur in areas of central Europe (e.g. Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands) during summers. Increased evapotranspiration could also be observed in northern Scandinavia (Feyen et al., 2020).
