Seeing the Canopy for the Branches: Improved Within Canopy Scaling of Leaf Nitrogen

Abstract Transitioning across biological scales is a central challenge in land surface models. Processes that operate at the scale of individual leaves must be scaled to canopies, and this is done using dedicated submodels. Here, we focus on a submodel that prescribes how light and nitrogen are dist...
