•Evapotranspiration (E) from a humid balsam fir boreal site was measured for 3 years.•Precipitation (P) and E from 13 boreal sites were compared to the study site.•Annual P ranged from 250 to 1600 mm, but annual E was capped to 550 mm at all sites.•Under the greatest annual P, the main study site he...
