  bibo_abstract:
  - Given their ability to provide food, raw material and alleviate poverty, oil palm
    (OP) plantations are driving significant losses of biodiversity-rich tropical
    forests, fuelling a heated debate on ecosystem degradation and conservation. However,
    while OP-induced carbon emissions and biodiversity losses have received significant
    attention, OP water requirements have been marginalized and little is known on
    the ecohydrological changes (water and surface energy fluxes) occurring from forest
    clearing to plantation maturity. Numerical simulations supported by field observations
    from seven sites in Southeast Asia (five OP plantations and two tropical forests)
    are used here to illustrate the temporal evolution of OP actual evapotranspiration
    (ET), infiltration/runoff, gross primary productivity (GPP) and surface temperature
    as well as their changes relative to tropical forests. Model results from large-scale
    commercial plantations show that young OP plantations decrease ecosystem ET, causing
    hotter and drier climatic conditions, but mature plantations (age > 8−9 yr) have
    higher GPP and transpire more water (up to +7.7%) than the forests they have replaced.
    This is the result of physiological constraints on water use efficiency and the
    extremely high yield of OP (six to ten times higher than other oil crops). Hence,
    the land use efficiency of mature OP, i.e. the high productivity per unit of land
    area, comes at the expense of water consumption in a trade of water for carbon
    that may jeopardize local water resources. Sequential replanting and herbaceous
    ground cover can reduce the severity of such ecohydrological changes and support
    local water/climate regulation.@eng
