Abstract

Vegetation demography, size structured plant competition, mechanistic mortality, and plant trait filtering control the carbon dynamics and energy budgets of the Earth’s surface. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed on incorporating these types of structures and processes in the land modelling component of Earth System Models. These processes have now been introduced to the Advanced Climate Model For Energy's Land Model (ACME-LM or ALM) as derived from its sister model the Community Land Model (CLM), with the coupling of the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model. The goal of this study is to evaluate how ALM(ED) captures carbon cycling dynamics, using a specialized testbed approach that is tailored to the needs of a demographic trait filtering model.
