Effect of mosaic representation of vegetation in land surface schemes on simulated energy and carbon balances
Energy and carbon balance implications of representing vegetation using a composite or mosaic approach in a land surface scheme are investigated. In the composite approach the attributes of different plant functional types (PFTs) present in a grid cell are aggregated in some fashion for energy and w...
