Although evapotranspiration (ET) represents an important part of the water cycle, how ET and fog processes interact and how they affect páramo vegetation and water resources availability are poorly understood.

Evapotranspiration (ET) underpins water, energy, and carbon cycling, yet remains among the least observed hydrologic fluxes, creating a persistent paradox: hydrology is advancing rapidly through artificial intelligence and data-driven methods while its observational foundation remains sparse and fragmented.
