Simulating county‐level crop yields in the Conterminous United States using the Community Land Model: The effects of optimizing irrigation and fertilization

Abstract In this study, we applied version 4.5 of the Community Land Model (CLM) at a 0.125° resolution to provide the first county‐scale model validation for simulating crop yields over the Conterminous United States (CONUS). Large bias was found in simulating crop yields against U.S. Department of...
