Conteúdo: 	The energy balance approach was used to evaluate the transfer processes which occur between a cassava community, growing during a savanna wet season, and its environment. Crop performance under these conditions was also analysed. During this season, the soil profile remained near saturation, hence net radiation absorbed by the cassava crop during typical low radiation days, mainly dissipated as latent heat (78-86pr cent); a process which depends on the growth state and on the foliage cover of the canopy. However, the seasonal root environment, with a sufficient water supply, contrasted with the extremely variable shoot environment, because the daily flux density of short wave radiation input reached values similar to those reported for typical dry season days.On these days, cassava responded to environmental stress by a reduction in transpiration. At the end of the wet season soil water content markedly decreased, an additional stress factor on the roots, which produced a notable reduction of cassava leaf area ondex. Therefore, the moderate changes in energy partitioning determined by morphological and physiological adaptive responses of cassava, produce a hindrance in the equilibrium between water vapour transfer and the surrounding savanna environment.
