Land Group v2.0 Experiments Plan

Simulation Experiments

• Point simulations

• Representative sites

• Super sites

• Fluxnet sites

• Manipulation experiments

• Litter addition

• Fertilization experiments

• FACE

• Warming experiments

• Fully coupled regional simulations

• Fully Coupled global simulations

Experimental Design

• Model experiments should be designed to highlight/test/exercise new V2 features. 
• We should establish a plan and a schedule to assure we can accomplish all of the experiments we would like to do.
• For V1 BGC experiments, we borrowed the Historical + RCP 8.5 simulation protocol with alternative atmospheric CO₂ coupling (RAD, BGC, FULL) from CMIP5.
