In order to illuminate the effects of meteorological factors on wetland ET, the ET of Zhalong Wetland was calculated from 1961 to 2000, the statistical relationships （models） between ET and maximum temperature （Tmax）, minimum temperature （Tmin）, precipitation （P） and wind speed at 2m height （U2） were established, and the sensitivity analysis of the variables in the model was performed.
