A canopy conductance and photosynthesis model for use in a GCM land surface scheme
Land surface schemes are vital components of general circulation models (GCMs) which provide the fluxes of heat, water and momentum at the land–atmosphere interface. The fluxes simulated by these schemes are especially dependent on the way in which the canopy (or ‘bulk stomatal’) conductance for plant transpiration is modelled. Considerable research has been carried out into the dependences of canopy […]
