Abstract:Accurate simulation of plant phenology is important in Earth system
models as phenology modulates land-atmosphere coupling and the carbon
cycle. Evaluations based on grid-cell average leaf area index (LAI) can
be misleading because multiple plant functional types (PFT) may be
present in one model grid cell and PFTs with different phenology schemes
have different LAI seasonal cycles. Here we examined PFT-specific LAI
amplitudes and seasonal cycles in the Community Land Model versions 5.0
and 4.5 (CLM5.0 and CLM… Show more
