Abstract: The FAO 56 P-M model was used to simulate reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) and explore the influencing factors of ET0 for the Horqin wet meadow in the arid and semi-arid areas under climate change. The applicability of the model was evaluated by the eddy covariance system, and the influencing factors of ET0 were identified by path analysis and index sensitivity analysis. Results showed that: (1) The accuracy of hour-scale simulation was the highest, followed by day-scale simulation, and the monthly scale simulation was poor.The simulation effect was also different under sunny, cloudy and rainy weather conditions on the hourly scale,sunny days were best, rainy days were worse. (2) The change of ET0 in the year presented a single-peak curve, and the growth season was significantly higher than that in the non-growth season, mainly from March to October, accounting for 89.79% of the annual ET0. The hourly distribution of ET0 in typical sunny days during the growing season follows the single peak pattern of inverted "U". (3) The path coefficient of ET0 and the total contribution to the estimation reliability of regression equation E were shown as VPD > Tmin > Rn > u2, VPD is the most important factor affecting ET0. In the sensitivity analysis of indicators, the largest change of E is caused by the removal of VPD, indicating that ET0 is the most sensitive to the change of VPD, followed by u2, Tmin and Rn.
