Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 10 process-based terrestrial biosphere models that were used for the IPCC fifth Assessment Report. The simulated gross primary productivity (GPP) is compared with flux-tower-based estimates by Jung et al. [Journal of Geophysical Research 116 (2011) G00J07] (JU11). The net primary productivity (NPP) apparent sensitivity to climate variability and atmospheric CO2 trends is diagnosed from each model output, using statistical functions. The temperature sensitivity is compa… Show more

“…To better understand the contribution of forest age and nitrogen deposition to NEP, we further used three models [LPJ (12), ORCHIDEE (13) and CLM4CN (14)] to estimate the East Asian monsoon region NEP (35) and compared these estimates to the results of our study (Materials and Methods). These three models have been used extensively in the Fourth and Fifth Assessment Reports of the International Panel on Climate Change and in global terrestrial carbon budget evaluations (35)(36)(37).…”

“…All models followed the protocol described by the historical climate carbon cycle model intercomparison project (Trendy) (http://dgvm.ceh. ac.uk/system/files/Trendy_protocol%20_Nov2011_0.pdf) 40,41 . All models used prescribed static vegetation maps.…”

“…This is particularly important owing to the role of the Amazon forests in the global carbon cycle 19,20 . Ecosystem models may tend to overestimate the responses of vegetation growth to precipitation 12 (Supplementary Section 10), which is one of the reasons why the fate of the Amazon forests continues to be debated 10 . Considerable evidence points to nitrogen limitation of vegetation growth over many parts of the Earth 21 , with local alleviation by nitrogen deposition in boreal and temperate regions 22,23 .…”
