Reviewer 2 Report
The article “Temporal evolution of vapor pressure deficit observed in six locations of different Brazilian ecosystems and its relationship with micrometeorological variables” by Rafael da Silva Palacios et. al. contains an analysis of the dependence of the relationship of vapor pressure deficit on micrometeorological variables in six locations in different Brazilian ecosystems.
I think that the material of the article is interesting and important for the environment.
The authors need to make some corrections.
1) Line 132: (Am-Ma, Ac-Rb), - unexplained abbreviation;
2) please, indicate how were the eigenvalues of the corresponding principal components drawn in Figures 3-4 calculated and also it is necessary to explain what this behavior of eigenvalues means;
3) the inscriptions in Figures 2-4 are very small;
4) pictures 3-4 are not done neatly;
5) in the captions under Figures 5,6, 8 please indicate what does each color mean.

Reviewer 3 Report
I have read the manuscrip with title "Temporal evolution of vapor pressure deficit observed in six locations of different Brazilian ecosystems and its relationship with micrometeorological variables" which is interest and well written. I have moderate comments:
- Provide the innovation of the study.
- In discussion section add drawbacks and future works. Is essential for a manuscript
suggested literature
Simulating future groundwater recharge in coastal and inland catchments. Water Resource Management.
- In the conclusion section provide the main results with 3-4 bullets.
Is fine
