Short summary
Short summary
Multi-timescale variations in surface energy fluxes in a suburb of Beijing are analyzed using 16-month observations. Compared to previous suburban areas, this study site has larger seasonal variability in energy partitioning, and summer and winter Bowen ratios are at the lower and higher end of those at other suburban sites, respectively. Our analysis indicates that precipitation, irrigation, crop/vegetation growth activity, and land use/cover all play critical roles in energy partitioning.

Short summary
In the real hydrological Earth system, the relationships between variables are not constant. This study employed advanced statistical models, incorporating physical mechanisms to examine how evaporation stress responds to key factors over time. We found that stronger soil drought effects can be expected in areas undergoing rapid greening. This study may enhance the comprehension of evaporation stress, help optimize parameters in Earth system models, and promote greening initiatives.
