Title: 2.29. Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) — ctsm CTSM master documentation
URL Source: https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/BVOCs/CLM50_Tech_Note_BVOCs.html
Markdown Content:
This chapter briefly describes the biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions model implemented in CLM. The CLM3 version (Levis et al. 2003; Oleson et al. 2004) was based on Guenther et al. (1995). Heald et al. (2008) updated this scheme in CLM4 based on Guenther et al (2006). The current version was implemented in CLM4.5 and is based on MEGAN2.1 discussed in detail in Guenther et al. (2012). This update of MEGAN incorporates four main features: 1) expansion to 147 chemical compounds, 2) the treatment of the light-dependent fraction (LDF) for each compound, 3) inclusion of the inhibition of isoprene emission by atmospheric CO2 and 4) emission factors mapped to the specific PFTs of the CLM.
MEGAN2.1 now describes the emissions of speciated monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, oxygenated VOCs as well as isoprene. A flexible scheme has been implemented in the CLM to specify a subset of emissions. This allows for additional flexibility in grouping chemical compounds to form the lumped species frequently used in atmospheric chemistry. The mapping or grouping is therefore defined through a namelist parameter in drv\_flds\_in, e.g. megan\_specifier = ISOP = isoprene, BIGALK pentane + hexane + heptane + tricyclene.
Terrestrial BVOC emissions from plants to the atmosphere are expressed as a flux, \\(F\_{i}\\) (\\(\\mu\\) g C m\-2 ground area h\-1), for emission of chemical compound \\(i\\)
(2.29.1)[](#equation-zeqnnum964222 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[F\_{i} =\\gamma \_{i} \\rho \\sum \_{j}\\varepsilon \_{i,j} \\left(wt\\right)\_{j}\\\]
where \\(\\gamma \_{i}\\) is the emission activity factor accounting for responses to meteorological and phenological conditions, \\(\\rho\\) is the canopy loss and production factor also known as escape efficiency (set to 1), and \\(\\varepsilon \_{i,\\, j}\\) (\\(\\mu\\) g C m\-2 ground area h\-1) is the emission factor at standard conditions of light, temperature, and leaf area for plant functional type _j_ with fractional coverage \\(\\left(wt\\right)\_{j}\\) (Guenther et al. 2012). The emission activity factor \\(\\gamma \_{i}\\) depends on plant functional type, temperature, LAI, leaf age, and soil moisture (Guenther et al. 2012) For isoprene only, the effect of CO2 inhibition is now included as described by Heald et al. (2009). Previously, only isoprene was treated as a light-dependent emission. In MEGAN2.1, each chemical compound is assigned a LDF (ranging from 1.0 for isoprene to 0.2 for some monoterpenes, VOCs and acetone). The activity factor for the light response of emissions is therefore estimated as:
(2.29.2)[](#equation-28-2 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\gamma \_{P,\\, i} =\\left(1-LDF\_{i} \\right)+\\gamma \_{P\\\_ LDF} LDF\_{i}\\\]
where the LDF activity factor (\\(\\gamma \_{P\\\_ LDF}\\) ) is specified as a function of PAR as in previous versions of MEGAN.
The values for each emission factor \\(\\epsilon \_{i,\\, j}\\) are now available for each of the plant functional types in the CLM and each chemical compound. This information is distributed through an external file, allowing for more frequent and easier updates.

Summary of the Article:
Title: Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) in the Community Land Model (CLM)
Key Points:
1. BVOC Emissions Model in CLM:
- The BVOC emissions model in CLM was initially based on Guenther et al. (1995) and was later updated in CLM4 and CLM4.5 based on MEGAN2.1 (Guenther et al., 2012).
- The MEGAN2.1 model includes four main features: (1) expansion to 147 chemical compounds, (2) treatment of the light-dependent fraction (LDF) for each compound, (3) inclusion of the inhibition of isoprene emission by atmospheric CO2, and (4) emission factors mapped to the specific plant functional types (PFTs) in CLM.
2. Equation for BVOC Emissions:
- The BVOC emissions from plants to the atmosphere are expressed as a flux (F_i) for each chemical compound (i).
- The flux is calculated using the equation: F_i = γ_i ρ Σ_j ε_i,j (wt)_j, where γ_i is the emission activity factor, ρ is the canopy loss and production factor, ε_i,j is the emission factor for PFT j, and (wt)_j is the fractional coverage of PFT j.
- The emission activity factor (γ_i) depends on factors such as plant functional type, temperature, leaf area index (LAI), leaf age, and soil moisture.
3. Light-Dependent Fraction (LDF):
- In MEGAN2.1, each chemical compound is assigned an LDF value, ranging from 1.0 for isoprene to 0.2 for some monoterpenes, VOCs, and acetone.
- The activity factor for the light response of emissions is estimated using the equation: γ_P,i = (1-LDF_i) + γ_P_LDF LDF_i, where γ_P_LDF is the LDF activity factor.
4. Emission Factors:
- The emission factors (ε_i,j) for each chemical compound and PFT are provided in an external file, allowing for easier updates.
In summary, the article describes the BVOC emissions model in the Community Land Model (CLM), which is based on the MEGAN2.1 approach and includes various updates and features to better represent the emissions of a wide range of chemical compounds from different plant functional types.

## 2.19.1. Introduction[](#introduction "Permalink to this headline")
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The carbon and nitrogen allocation routines in CLM determine the fate of newly assimilated carbon, coming from the calculation of photosynthesis, and available mineral nitrogen, coming from plant uptake of mineral nitrogen in the soil or being drawn out of plant reserves. A significant change to CLM5 relative to prior versions is that allocation of carbon and nitrogen proceed independently rather than in a sequential manner.

Summary:
## Carbon and Nitrogen Allocation in CLM5
### Introduction
The carbon and nitrogen allocation routines in the Community Land Model (CLM) determine how newly assimilated carbon from photosynthesis and available mineral nitrogen from plant uptake are distributed within the plant. A significant change in CLM5, compared to prior versions, is that the allocation of carbon and nitrogen now occurs independently rather than sequentially.
### Key Points
- The carbon and nitrogen allocation processes in CLM determine the fate of newly acquired carbon and nitrogen resources within the plant.
- In CLM5, the allocation of carbon and nitrogen is performed independently, rather than following a sequential approach as in previous versions of the model.
- This change represents a significant modification to the way carbon and nitrogen allocation is handled in the latest version of the Community Land Model.
The summary captures the main points of the introduction, highlighting the key change in the carbon and nitrogen allocation routines in CLM5 compared to previous versions of the model. It conveys the essential information from the provided text without including any external details.

## 2.19.2. Carbon Allocation for Maintenance Respiration Costs[](#carbon-allocation-for-maintenance-respiration-costs "Permalink to this headline")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allocation of available carbon on each time step is prioritized, with first priority given to the demand for carbon to support maintenance respiration of live tissues (section 13.7). Second priority is to replenish the internal plant carbon pool that supports maintenance respiration during times when maintenance respiration exceeds photosynthesis (e.g. at night, during winter for perennial vegetation, or during periods of drought stress) (Sprugel et al., 1995). Third priority is to support growth of new tissues, including allocation to storage pools from which new growth will be displayed in subsequent time steps.
The total maintenance respiration demand (\\(CF\_{mr}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1) is calculated as a function of tissue mass and nitrogen concentration, and temperature (section 13.7) The carbon supply to support this demand is composed of fluxes allocated from carbon assimilated in the current timestep (\\(CF\_{GPP,mr}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1 and from a storage pool that is drawn down when total demand exceeds photosynthesis ( \\(CF\_{xs,mr}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1):
(2.19.1)[](#equation-19-1 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{mr} =CF\_{GPP,mr} +CF\_{xs,mr}\\\]
(2.19.2)[](#equation-19-2 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}CF\_{GPP,mr} =\\\_ \\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {CF\_{mr} \\qquad \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{mr} \\le CF\_{GPP} } \\\\ {CF\_{GPP} \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{mr} >CF\_{GPP} } \\end{array}\\right.\\end{split}\\\]
(2.19.3)[](#equation-19-3 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}CF\_{xs,mr} =\\\_ \\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {0\\qquad \\qquad \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{mr} \\le CF\_{GPP} } \\\\ {CF\_{mr} -CF\_{GPP} \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{mr} >CF\_{GPP} } \\end{array}\\right.\\end{split}\\\]
The storage pool that supplies carbon for maintenance respiration in excess of current \\(CF\_{GPP}\\) ( \\(CS\_{xs}\\), gC m\-2) is permitted to run a deficit (negative state), and the magnitude of this deficit determines an allocation demand which gradually replenishes \\(CS\_{xs}\\). The logic for allowing a negative state for this pool is to eliminate the need to know in advance what the total maintenance respiration demand will be for a particular combination of climate and plant type. Using the deficit approach, the allocation to alleviate the deficit increases as the deficit increases, until the supply of carbon into the pool balances the demand for carbon leaving the pool in a quasi-steady state, with variability driven by the seasonal cycle, climate variation, disturbance, and internal dynamics of the plant-litter-soil system. In cases where the combination of climate and plant type are not suitable to sustained growth, the deficit in this pool increases until the available carbon is being allocated mostly to alleviate the deficit, and new growth approaches zero. The allocation flux to \\(CS\_{xs}\\) (\\(CF\_{GPP,xs}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1) is given as
(2.19.4)[](#equation-19-4 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}CF\_{GPP,xs,pot} =\\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {0\\qquad \\qquad \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CS\_{xs} \\ge 0} \\\\ {-CS\_{xs} /(86400\\tau \_{xs} )\\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CS\_{xs} <0} \\end{array}\\right.\\end{split}\\\]
(2.19.5)[](#equation-19-5 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}CF\_{GPP,xs} =\\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {CF\_{GPP,xs,pot} \\qquad \\qquad \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{GPP,xs,pot} \\le CF\_{GPP} -CF\_{GPP,mr} } \\\\ {\\max (CF\_{GPP} -CF\_{GPP,mr} ,0)\\qquad {\\rm for\\; }CF\_{GPP,xs,pot} >CF\_{GPP} -CF\_{GPP,mr} } \\end{array}\\right.\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(\\tau\_{xs}\\) is the time constant (currently set to 30 days) controlling the rate of replenishment of \\(CS\_{xs}\\).
Note that these two top-priority carbon allocation fluxes (\\(CF\_{GPP,mr}\\) and \\(CF\_{GPP,xs}\\)) are not stoichiometrically associated with any nitrogen fluxes.

Summary of "Carbon Allocation for Maintenance Respiration Costs":
## Carbon Allocation Priorities
1. Maintenance Respiration Demand
- The total maintenance respiration demand (CFmr) is calculated based on tissue mass, nitrogen concentration, and temperature.
- The carbon supply to meet this demand comes from:
- Current photosynthesis (CFGPPmr)
- A storage pool that is drawn down when demand exceeds photosynthesis (CFxsmr)
2. Replenishing the Internal Carbon Storage Pool
- The storage pool (CSxs) is permitted to run a deficit, and the allocation to replenish this deficit (CFGPPxs) increases as the deficit grows.
- This allows the model to adapt to different climate and plant type combinations without needing to know the total maintenance respiration demand in advance.
3. Supporting Growth of New Tissues
- After meeting the maintenance respiration demand and replenishing the storage pool, any remaining carbon is allocated to the growth of new tissues.
## Key Equations
1. CFmr = CFGPPmr + CFxsmr
2. CFGPPmr is the minimum of CFmr and CFGPP
3. CFxsmr is the difference between CFmr and CFGPP, if CFmr exceeds CFGPP
4. CFGPPxs is set to 0 if CSxs is non-negative, and is proportional to the negative value of CSxs if it is negative.
5. CFGPPxs is limited to the maximum value of CFGPP - CFGPPmr.

## 2.19.3. Carbon and Nitrogen Stoichiometry of New Growth[](#carbon-and-nitrogen-stoichiometry-of-new-growth "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After accounting for the carbon cost of maintenance respiration, the remaining carbon flux from photosynthesis which can be allocated to new growth (\\(CF\_{avail}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1) is
(2.19.6)[](#equation-19-6 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{avail\\\_ alloc} =CF\_{GPP} -CF\_{GPP,mr} -CF\_{GPP,xs} .\\\]
Potential allocation to new growth is calculated for all of the plant carbon and nitrogen state variables based on specified C:N ratios for each tissue type and allometric parameters that relate allocation between various tissue types. The allometric parameters are defined as follows:
(2.19.7)[](#equation-19-7 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{l} {a\_{1} ={\\rm \\; ratio\\; of\\; new\\; fine\\; root\\; :\\; new\\; leaf\\; carbon\\; allocation}} \\\\ {a\_{2} ={\\rm \\; ratio\\; of\\; new\\; coarse\\; root\\; :\\; new\\; stem\\; carbon\\; allocation}} \\\\ {a\_{3} ={\\rm \\; ratio\\; of\\; new\\; stem\\; :\\; new\\; leaf\\; carbon\\; allocation}} \\\\ {a\_{4} ={\\rm \\; ratio\\; new\\; live\\; wood\\; :\\; new\\; total\\; wood\\; allocation}} \\\\ {g\_{1} ={\\rm ratio\\; of\\; growth\\; respiration\\; carbon\\; :\\; new\\; growth\\; carbon.\\; }} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
Parameters \\(a\_{1}\\), \\(a\_{2}\\), and \\(a\_{4}\\) are defined as constants for a given PFT (Table 13.1), while \\(g\_{l }\\) = 0.3 (unitless) is prescribed as a constant for all PFTs, based on construction costs for a range of woody and non-woody tissues (Larcher, 1995).
The model includes a dynamic allocation scheme for woody vegetation (parameter \\(a\_{3}\\) = -1, [Table 2.19.1](#table-allocation-and-cn-ratio-parameters)), in which case the ratio for carbon allocation between new stem and new leaf increases with increasing net primary production (NPP), as
(2.19.8)[](#equation-19-8 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[a\_{3} =\\frac{2.7}{1+e^{-0.004NPP\_{ann} -300} } -0.4\\\]
where \\(NPP\_{ann}\\) is the annual sum of NPP from the previous year. This mechanism has the effect of increasing woody allocation in favorable growth environments (Allen et al., 2005; Vanninen and Makela, 2005) and during the phase of stand growth prior to canopy closure (Axelsson and Axelsson, 1986).

Carbon to nitrogen ratios are defined for different tissue types as follows:
(2.19.9)[](#equation-19-9 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{l} {CN\_{leaf} =\\\_ {\\rm \\; C:N\\; for\\; leaf}} \\\\ {CN\_{fr} =\\\_ {\\rm \\; C:N\\; for\\; fine\\; root}} \\\\ {CN\_{lw} =\\\_ {\\rm \\; C:N\\; for\\; live\\; wood\\; (in\\; stem\\; and\\; coarse\\; root)}} \\\\ {CN\_{dw} =\\\_ {\\rm \\; C:N\\; for\\; dead\\; wood\\; (in\\; stem\\; and\\; coarse\\; root)}} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where all C:N parameters are defined as constants for a given PFT ([Table 2.19.1](#table-allocation-and-cn-ratio-parameters)).
Given values for the parameters in and, total carbon and nitrogen allocation to new growth ( \\(CF\_{alloc}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1, and \\(NF\_{alloc}\\), gN m\-2 s\-1, respectively) can be expressed as functions of new leaf carbon allocation (\\(CF\_{GPP,leaf}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1):

where

(2.19.12)[](#equation-19-12 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}N\_{allom} =\\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {\\frac{1}{CN\_{leaf} } +\\frac{a\_{1} }{CN\_{fr} } +\\frac{a\_{3} a\_{4} \\left(1+a\_{2} \\right)}{CN\_{lw} } +} \\\\ {\\qquad \\frac{a\_{3} \\left(1-a\_{4} \\right)\\left(1+a\_{2} \\right)}{CN\_{dw} } \\qquad {\\rm for\\; woody\\; PFT}} \\\\ {\\frac{1}{CN\_{leaf} } +\\frac{a\_{1} }{CN\_{fr} } \\qquad \\qquad \\qquad {\\rm for\\; non-woody\\; PFT.}} \\end{array}\\right.\\end{split}\\\]
Since the C:N stoichiometry for new growth allocation is defined, from Eq., as \\(C\_{allom}\\)/ \\(N\_{allom}\\), the total carbon available for new growth allocation (\\(CF\_{avail\\\_alloc}\\)) can be used to calculate the total plant nitrogen demand for new growth ( \\(NF\_{plant\\\_demand}\\), gN m\-2 s\-1) as:
(2.19.13)[](#equation-19-13 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[NF\_{plant\\\_ demand} =CF\_{avail\\\_ alloc} \\frac{N\_{allom} }{C\_{allom} } .\\\]

Here is a concise summary of the provided article:
## Carbon and Nitrogen Stoichiometry of New Growth
The article discusses the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stoichiometry of new plant growth, describing the equations and parameters used in the model.
Key points:
- The carbon flux available for new growth allocation (CF_avail_alloc) is calculated by subtracting maintenance and excess respiration from gross primary productivity.
- Allocation of this available carbon to different plant tissues (leaves, fine roots, woody components) is determined by allometric parameters (a1, a2, a3, a4).
- The C:N ratios for each tissue type (CN_leaf, CN_fr, CN_lw, CN_dw) are defined as constants for each plant functional type.
- Equations are provided to calculate total C (CF_alloc) and N (NF_alloc) allocation to new growth based on the new leaf carbon allocation.
- The total plant N demand for new growth (NF_plant_demand) is then calculated from the available C allocation and the C:N ratios.
The summary captures the key aspects of the carbon-nitrogen stoichiometry modeling approach described in the article, including the relevant equations and parameters.

## 2.19.4. Carbon Allocation to New Growth[](#carbon-allocation-to-new-growth "Permalink to this headline")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two carbon pools associated with each plant tissue one which represents the currently displayed tissue, and another which represents carbon stored for display in a subsequent growth period. The nitrogen pools follow this same organization. The model keeps track of stored carbon according to which tissue type it will eventually be displayed as, and the separation between display in the current timestep and storage for later display depends on the parameter \\(f\_{cur}\\) (values 0 to 1). Given \\(CF\_{alloc,leaf}\\) and \\(f\_{cur}\\), the allocation fluxes of carbon to display and storage pools (where storage is indicated with _\_stor_) for the various tissue types are given as:

Summary:
## Carbon Allocation to New Growth
This section of the article discusses the carbon allocation process in plants, where carbon is distributed between currently displayed tissues and storage for future growth. The model keeps track of stored carbon based on the tissue type it will eventually be displayed as.
Key points:
1. There are two carbon pools for each plant tissue - one for the currently displayed tissue and another for carbon stored for future display.
2. The allocation of carbon to display and storage depends on the parameter `f_cur`, which ranges from 0 to 1.
3. The equations provided demonstrate the allocation fluxes of carbon to the various tissue types, including leaves, fine roots, live stems, dead stems, live coarse roots, and dead coarse roots.
4. The allocation to display and storage pools is calculated based on `f_cur` and tissue-specific allocation coefficients (`a_1`, `a_2`, `a_3`, and `a_4`).
This section explains the complex carbon allocation process in plants, where the model distributes carbon between current and future growth based on the specified parameters.

## 2.19.5. Nitrogen allocation[](#nitrogen-allocation "Permalink to this headline")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total flux of nitrogen to be allocated is given by the FUN model (Chapter [2.18](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/FUN/CLM50_Tech_Note_FUN.html#rst-fun)).

Here is a concise summary of the provided article:
## Nitrogen Allocation
The article outlines the process of nitrogen allocation in the CLM5 land model. The total nitrogen flux to be allocated, referred to as N_supply, is determined by the FUN model. The model then allocates this nitrogen to different plant tissues based on their nitrogen demand.
The nitrogen demand for each tissue is calculated based on the carbon allocated to that tissue and the tissue's carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. The demand is split between current growth and storage.
After calculating the demand for each tissue, the total plant nitrogen demand is summed. The nitrogen allocated to each tissue is then proportional to its fractional demand, with the total allocation equal to the total nitrogen uptake calculated in the FUN model.
The key equations governing this nitrogen allocation process are provided, including the formulas for calculating the nitrogen demand of each plant tissue.

## 2.16.1. Introduction[](#introduction "Permalink to this headline")
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CLM includes a prognostic treatment of the terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycles including natural vegetation, crops, and soil biogeochemistry. The model is fully prognostic with respect to all carbon and nitrogen state variables in the vegetation, litter, and soil organic matter. The seasonal timing of new vegetation growth and litterfall is also prognostic, responding to soil and air temperature, soil water availability, daylength, and crop management practices in varying degrees depending on a specified phenology type or management for each PFT (Chapter [2.20](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Vegetation_Phenology_Turnover/CLM50_Tech_Note_Vegetation_Phenology_Turnover.html#rst-vegetation-phenology-and-turnover)). The prognostic LAI, SAI, tissue stoichiometry, and vegetation heights are utilized by the biophysical model that couples carbon, water, and energy cycles.
Separate state variables for C and N are tracked for leaf, live stem, dead stem, live coarse root, dead coarse root, fine root, and grain pools ([Figure 2.16.1](#figure-vegetation-fluxes-and-pools)). Each of these pools has two corresponding storage pools representing, respectively, short-term and long-term storage of non-structural carbohydrates and labile nitrogen. There are two additional carbon pools, one for the storage of growth respiration reserves, and another used to meet excess demand for maintenance respiration during periods with low photosynthesis. One additional nitrogen pool tracks retranslocated nitrogen, mobilized from leaf tissue prior to abscission and litterfall. Altogether there are 23 state variables for vegetation carbon, and 22 for vegetation nitrogen.

In addition to the vegetation pools, CLM includes a series of decomposing carbon and nitrogen pools as vegetation successively breaks down to CWD, and/or litter, and subsequently to soil organic matter. Discussion of the decomposition model, alternate specifications of decomposition rates, and methods to rapidly equilibrate the decomposition model, is in Chapter [2.21](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Decomposition/CLM50_Tech_Note_Decomposition.html#rst-decomposition).

Summary:
## Vegetation Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in CLM5
### Introduction
The Community Land Model (CLM) includes a prognostic treatment of the terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycles, covering natural vegetation, crops, and soil biogeochemistry. The model tracks carbon and nitrogen state variables for various vegetation pools, including leaves, stems, roots, and grains. It also accounts for short-term and long-term storage of non-structural carbohydrates and labile nitrogen, as well as growth respiration reserves and maintenance respiration demands.
### Vegetation Pools and Fluxes
The vegetation component of CLM includes 23 carbon state variables and 22 nitrogen state variables, representing the different tissue types and storage pools. The seasonal timing of new growth and litterfall is also modeled, responding to environmental factors such as temperature, soil moisture, daylength, and crop management practices.
The prognostic vegetation properties, including leaf area index (LAI), stem area index (SAI), tissue stoichiometry, and vegetation heights, are utilized by the biophysical model to couple the carbon, water, and energy cycles.
### Decomposition and Soil Organic Matter
In addition to the vegetation pools, CLM includes a series of decomposing carbon and nitrogen pools as vegetation breaks down into coarse woody debris (CWD), litter, and soil organic matter. The decomposition model and methods for rapidly equilibrating the decomposition pools are discussed in a separate chapter.

## 2.16.2. Tissue Stoichiometry[](#tissue-stoichiometry "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of CLM5, vegetation tissues have a flexible stoichiometry, as described in [Ghimire et al. (2016)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#ghimireetal2016). Each tissue has a target C:N ratio, with the target leaf C:N varying by plant functional type (see [Table 2.16.1](#table-plant-functional-type-pft-target-cn-parameters)), and nitrogen is allocated at each timestep in order to allow the plant to best match the target stoichiometry. Nitrogen downregulation of productivity acts by increasing the C:N ratio of leaves when insufficient nitrogen is available to meet stoichiometric demands of leaf growth, thereby reducing the N available for photosynthesis and reducing the \\(V\_{\\text{c,max25}}\\) and \\(J\_{\\text{max25}}\\) terms, as described in Chapter [2.10](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Photosynthetic_Capacity/CLM50_Tech_Note_Photosynthetic_Capacity.html#rst-photosynthetic-capacity). Details of the flexible tissue stoichiometry are described in Chapter [2.19](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/CN_Allocation/CLM50_Tech_Note_CN_Allocation.html#rst-cn-allocation).

Summary:
## Tissue Stoichiometry
The article discusses the flexible stoichiometry of vegetation tissues in the Community Land Model (CLM5). Key points:
1. Each plant tissue has a target carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio, which varies by plant functional type (PFT).
2. Nitrogen is allocated at each timestep to allow the plant to match its target stoichiometry.
3. Insufficient nitrogen availability can lead to nitrogen downregulation of productivity, where the C:N ratio of leaves increases, reducing the availability of nitrogen for photosynthesis and lowering the Vcmax25 and Jmax25 parameters.
4. Table 2.16.1 provides the target leaf C:N ratios for different PFTs, ranging from 20.00 for crops like wheat and soybean to 58.00 for needleleaf evergreen temperate and boreal trees.
The article references further details on the flexible tissue stoichiometry in Chapter 2.19 of the CLM5 technical note.

### 2.26.2.1. Introduction[](#introduction "Permalink to this headline")
Groups developing Earth System Models generally account for the human footprint on the landscape in simulations of historical and future climates. Traditionally we have represented this footprint with natural vegetation types and particularly grasses because they resemble many common crops. Most modeling efforts have not incorporated more explicit representations of land management such as crop type, planting, harvesting, tillage, fertilization, and irrigation, because global scale datasets of these factors have lagged behind vegetation mapping. As this begins to change, we increasingly find models that will simulate the biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects not only of natural but also human-managed land cover.
AgroIBIS is a state-of-the-art land surface model with options to simulate dynamic vegetation ([Kucharik et al. 2000](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kuchariketal2000)) and interactive crop management ([Kucharik and Brye 2003](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kucharikbrye2003)). The interactive crop management parameterizations from AgroIBIS (March 2003 version) were coupled as a proof-of-concept to the Community Land Model version 3 \[CLM3.0, [Oleson et al. (2004)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#olesonetal2004) \] (not published), then coupled to the CLM3.5 ([Levis et al. 2009](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#levisetal2009)) and later released to the community with CLM4CN ([Levis et al. 2012](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#levisetal2012)), and CLM4.5BGC. Additional updates after the release of CLM4.5 were available by request ([Levis et al. 2016](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#levisetal2016)), and those are now incorporated into CLM5.
With interactive crop management and, therefore, a more accurate representation of agricultural landscapes, we hope to improve the CLMs simulated biogeophysics and biogeochemistry. These advances may improve fully coupled simulations with the Community Earth System Model (CESM), while helping human societies answer questions about changing food, energy, and water resources in response to climate, environmental, land use, and land management change (e.g., [Kucharik and Brye 2003](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kucharikbrye2003); [Lobell et al. 2006](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lobelletal2006)). As implemented here, the crop model uses the same physiology as the natural vegetation but with uses different crop-specific parameter values, phenology, and allocation, as well as fertilizer and irrigation management.

Introduction to Land Surface Modeling with Crop Representation
The article discusses the incorporation of more explicit representations of land management, such as crop type, planting, harvesting, tillage, fertilization, and irrigation, in Earth System Models. Traditionally, these models have represented the human footprint on the landscape using natural vegetation types, particularly grasses, which resemble many common crops.
The AgroIBIS land surface model is highlighted as a state-of-the-art model that includes options to simulate dynamic vegetation and interactive crop management. The interactive crop management parameterizations from AgroIBIS were coupled to the Community Land Model (CLM) as a proof-of-concept, and later released to the community with subsequent CLM versions (CLM3.5, CLM4CN, CLM4.5BGC, and CLM5).
The goal of incorporating interactive crop management is to improve the CLM's simulated biogeophysics and biogeochemistry, which may lead to better-coupled simulations with the Community Earth System Model (CESM). This, in turn, can help address questions about changing food, energy, and water resources in response to climate, environmental, land use, and land management change.
The crop model within the CLM uses the same physiology as the natural vegetation but with different crop-specific parameter values, phenology, and allocation, as well as fertilizer and irrigation management.

### 2.26.2.2. Crop plant functional types[](#crop-plant-functional-types "Permalink to this headline")
To allow crops to coexist with natural vegetation in a grid cell, the vegetated land unit is separated into a naturally vegetated land unit and a managed crop land unit. Unlike the plant functional types (PFTs) in the naturally vegetated land unit, the managed crop PFTs in the managed crop land unit do not share soil columns and thus permit for differences in the land management between crops. Each crop type has a rainfed and an irrigated PFT that are on independent soil columns. Crop grid cell coverage is assigned from satellite data (similar to all natural PFTs), and the managed crop type proportions within the crop area is based on the dataset created by [Portmann et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#portmannetal2010) for present day. New in CLM5, crop area is extrapolated through time using the dataset provided by Land Use Model Intercomparison Project (LUMIP), which is part of CMIP6 Land use timeseries ([Lawrence et al. 2016](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrenceetal2016)). For more details about how crop distributions are determined, see Chapter [2.27](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Transient_Landcover/CLM50_Tech_Note_Transient_Landcover.html#rst-transient-landcover-change).
CLM5 includes ten actively managed crop types (temperate soybean, tropical soybean, temperate corn, tropical corn, spring wheat, cotton, rice, sugarcane, miscanthus, and switchgrass) that are chosen based on the availability of corresponding algorithms in AgroIBIS and as developed by [Badger and Dirmeyer (2015)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#badgeranddirmeyer2015) and described by [Levis et al. (2016)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#levisetal2016), or from available observations as described by [Cheng et al. (2019)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#chengetal2019). The representations of sugarcane, rice, cotton, tropical corn, and tropical soy were new in CLM5; miscanthus and switchgrass were added after the CLM5 release. Sugarcane and tropical corn are both C4 plants and are therefore represented using the temperate corn functional form. Tropical soybean uses the temperate soybean functional form, while rice and cotton use the wheat functional form. In tropical regions, parameter values were developed for the Amazon Basin, and planting date window is shifted by six months relative to the Northern Hemisphere. Plantation areas of bioenergy crops are projected to expand throughout the 21st century as a major energy source to replace fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. Miscanthus and switchgrass are perennial bioenergy crops and have quite different physiological traits and land management practices than annual crops, such as longer growing seasons, higher productivity, and lower demands for nutrients and water. About 70% of biofuel aboveground biomass (leaf & livestem) is removed at harvest. Parameter values were developed by using observation data collected at the University of Illinois Energy Farm located in Central Midwestern United States ([Cheng et al., 2019](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#chengetal2019)).
In addition, CLMs default list of plant functional types (PFTs) includes an irrigated and unirrigated unmanaged C3 crop ([Table 2.26.1](#table-crop-plant-functional-types)) treated as a second C3 grass. The unmanaged C3 crop is only used when the crop model is not active and has grid cell coverage assigned from satellite data, and the unmanaged C3 irrigated crop type is currently not used since irrigation requires the crop model to be active. The default list of PFTs also includes twenty-one inactive crop PFTs that do not yet have associated parameters required for active management. Each of the inactive crop types is simulated using the parameters of the spatially closest associated crop type that is most similar to the functional type (e.g., C3 or C4), which is required to maintain similar phenological parameters based on temperature thresholds. Information detailing which parameters are used for each crop type is included in [Table 2.26.1](#table-crop-plant-functional-types). It should be noted that PFT-level history output merges all crop types into the actively managed crop type, so analysis of crop-specific output will require use of the land surface dataset to remap the yields of each actively and inactively managed crop type. Otherwise, the actively managed crop type will include yields for that crop type and all inactively managed crop types that are using the same parameter set.

Summary:
Crop Plant Functional Types in CLM5
The Community Land Model (CLM5) separates the vegetated land unit into a naturally vegetated land unit and a managed crop land unit. The managed crop land unit contains crop functional types (CFTs) that do not share soil columns, allowing for differences in land management between crops.
CLM5 includes ten actively managed crop types: temperate soybean, tropical soybean, temperate corn, tropical corn, spring wheat, cotton, rice, sugarcane, miscanthus, and switchgrass. These are chosen based on the availability of corresponding algorithms and observations. The representations of sugarcane, rice, cotton, tropical corn, and tropical soy were new in CLM5, while miscanthus and switchgrass were added after the CLM5 release.
In addition, CLM's default list of plant functional types (PFTs) includes an irrigated and unirrigated unmanaged C3 crop treated as a second C3 grass, as well as twenty-one inactive crop PFTs that do not yet have associated parameters required for active management. The inactive crop types are simulated using the parameters of the spatially closest associated crop type that is most similar in functional type.
The table provided details the specific crop PFTs included in CLM5, including their management class and the crop parameters used for each type.

### 2.26.2.3. Phenology[](#phenology "Permalink to this headline")
CLM5-BGC includes evergreen, seasonally deciduous (responding to changes in day length), and stress deciduous (responding to changes in temperature and/or soil moisture) phenology algorithms (Chapter [2.20](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Vegetation_Phenology_Turnover/CLM50_Tech_Note_Vegetation_Phenology_Turnover.html#rst-vegetation-phenology-and-turnover)). CLM5-BGC-crop uses the AgroIBIS crop phenology algorithm, consisting of three distinct phases.
Phase 1 starts at planting and ends with leaf emergence, phase 2 continues from leaf emergence to the beginning of grain fill, and phase 3 starts from the beginning of grain fill and ends with physiological maturity and harvest.
#### 2.26.2.3.1. Planting[](#planting "Permalink to this headline")
All crops must meet the following requirements between the minimum planting date and the maximum planting date (for the northern hemisphere) in [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters):
(2.26.1)[](#equation-25-1 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{c} {T\_{10d} >T\_{p} } \\\\ {T\_{10d}^{\\min } >T\_{p}^{\\min } } \\\\ {GDD\_{8} \\ge GDD\_{\\min } } \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\({T}\_{10d}\\) is the 10-day running mean of \\({T}\_{2m}\\), (the simulated 2-m air temperature during each model time step) and \\(T\_{10d}^{\\min}\\) is the 10-day running mean of \\(T\_{2m}^{\\min }\\) (the daily minimum of \\({T}\_{2m}\\)). \\({T}\_{p}\\) and \\(T\_{p}^{\\min }\\) are crop-specific coldest planting temperatures ([Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)), \\({GDD}\_{8}\\) is the 20-year running mean growing degree-days (units are °C day) tracked from April through September (NH) above 8°C with maximum daily increments of 30 degree-days (see equation [(2.26.3)](#equation-25-3)), and \\({GDD}\_{min }\\)is the minimum growing degree day requirement ([Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)). \\({GDD}\_{8}\\) does not change as quickly as \\({T}\_{10d}\\) and \\(T\_{10d}^{\\min }\\), so it determines whether it is warm enough for the crop to be planted in a grid cell, while the 2-m air temperature variables determine the day when the crop may be planted if the \\({GDD}\_{8}\\) threshold is met. If the requirements in equation [(2.26.1)](#equation-25-1) are not met by the maximum planting date, crops are still planted on the maximum planting date as long as \\({GDD}\_{8} > 0\\). In the southern hemisphere (SH) the NH requirements apply 6 months later.
At planting, each crop seed pool is assigned 3 gC m\-2 from its grain product pool. The seed carbon is transferred to the leaves upon leaf emergence. An equivalent amount of seed leaf N is assigned given the PFTs C to N ratio for leaves (\\({CN}\_{leaf}\\) in [Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters); this differs from AgroIBIS, which uses a seed leaf area index instead of seed C). The model updates the average growing degree-days necessary for the crop to reach vegetative and physiological maturity, \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\), according to the following AgroIBIS rules:
(2.26.2)[](#equation-25-2 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{lll} GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm corn,sugarcane}} =0.85 GDD\_{{\\rm 8}} & {\\rm \\; \\; \\; and\\; \\; \\; }& 950 <GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm corn,sugarcane}} <1850{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm spring\\ wheat,cotton}} =GDD\_{{\\rm 0}} & {\\rm \\; \\; \\; and\\; \\; \\; } & GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm spring\\ wheat,cotton}} <1700{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm temp.soy}} =GDD\_{{\\rm 10}} & {\\rm \\; \\; \\; and\\; \\; \\; } & GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm temp.soy}} <1900{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm rice}} =GDD\_{{\\rm 0}} & {\\rm \\; \\; \\; and\\; \\; \\; } & GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm rice}} <2100{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm trop.soy}} =GDD\_{{\\rm 10}} & {\\rm \\; \\; \\; and\\; \\; \\; } & GDD\_{{\\rm mat}}^{{\\rm trop.soy}} <2100{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\({GDD}\_{0}\\), \\({GDD}\_{8}\\), and \\({GDD}\_{10}\\) are the 20-year running mean growing degree-days tracked from April through September (NH) over 0°C, 8°C, and 10°C, respectively, with maximum daily increments of 26 degree-days (for \\({GDD}\_{0}\\)) or 30 degree-days (for \\({GDD}\_{8}\\) and \\({GDD}\_{10}\\)). Equation [(2.26.3)](#equation-25-3) shows how we calculate \\({GDD}\_{0}\\), \\({GDD}\_{8}\\), and \\({GDD}\_{10}\\) for each model timestep:
(2.26.3)[](#equation-25-3 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{lll} GDD\_{{\\rm 0}} =GDD\_{0} +T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} & \\quad {\\rm \\; \\; \\; where\\; \\; \\; } & 0 \\le T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} \\le 26{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm 8}} =GDD\_{8} +T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} -8 & \\quad {\\rm \\; \\; \\; where\\; \\; \\; } & 0 \\le T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} -8\\le 30{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\\\ GDD\_{{\\rm 10}} =GDD\_{10} +T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} -10 & \\quad {\\rm \\; \\; \\; where\\; \\; \\; } & 0 \\le T\_{2{\\rm m}} -T\_{f} -10\\le 30{}^\\circ {\\rm days} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where, if \\({T}\_{2m}\\) - \\({T}\_{f}\\) takes on values outside the above ranges within a day, then it equals the minimum or maximum value in the range for that day. \\({T}\_{f}\\) is the freezing temperature of water and equals 273.15 K, \\({T}\_{2m}\\) is the 2-m air temperature in units of K, and _GDD_ is in units of degree-days.
#### 2.26.2.3.2. Leaf emergence[](#leaf-emergence "Permalink to this headline")
According to AgroIBIS, leaves may emerge when the growing degree-days of soil temperature to 0.05 m depth (\\(GDD\_{T\_{soi} }\\) ), which is tracked since planting, reaches 1 to 5% of \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) (see Phase 2 % \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) in [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)). The base temperature threshold values for \\(GDD\_{T\_{soi} }\\) are listed in [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters) (the same base temperature threshold values are also used for \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\) in section [2.26.2.3.3](#grain-fill)), and leaf emergence (crop phenology phase 2) starts when this threshold is met. Leaf onset occurs in the first time step of phase 2, at which moment all seed C is transferred to leaf C. Subsequently, the leaf area index generally increases throughout phase 2 until it reaches a predetermined maximum value. Stem and root C also increase throughout phase 2 based on the carbon allocation algorithm in section [2.26.2.4.1](#leaf-emergence-to-grain-fill).
#### 2.26.2.3.3. Grain fill[](#grain-fill "Permalink to this headline")
The grain fill phase (phase 3) begins in one of two ways. The first potential trigger is based on temperature, similar to phase 2. A variable tracked since planting, similar to \\(GDD\_{T\_{soi} }\\) but for 2-m air temperature, \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\), must reach a heat unit threshold, _h_, of of 40 to 65% of \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) (see Phase 3 % \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) in [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)). For crops with the C4 photosynthetic pathway (temperate and tropical corn, sugarcane), the \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) is based on an empirical function and ranges between 950 and 1850. The second potential trigger for phase 3 is based on leaf area index. When the maximum value of leaf area index is reached in phase 2 ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)), phase 3 begins. In phase 3, the leaf area index begins to decline in response to a background litterfall rate calculated as the inverse of leaf longevity for the PFT as done in the BGC part of the model.
#### 2.26.2.3.4. Harvest[](#harvest "Permalink to this headline")
Harvest is assumed to occur as soon as the crop reaches maturity. When \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\) reaches 100% of \\({GDD}\_{mat}\\) or the number of days past planting reaches a crop-specific maximum ([Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)), then the crop is harvested. Harvest occurs in one time step using the BGC leaf offset algorithm.
Table 2.26.2 Crop phenology and morphology parameters for the active crop plant functional types (PFTs) in CLM5BGCCROP. Numbers in the first row correspond to the list of PFTs in [Table 2.26.1](#table-crop-plant-functional-types).[](#id21 "Permalink to this table")

(See Sect. [2.26.2.3.1](#planting).) These parameters can also be set with more geographic variation via input map stream files `stream_fldFileName_swindow_start` and `stream_fldFileName_swindow_end`.
* \\(T\_{p}\\) and \\(T\_{p}^{ min }\\) are crop-specific average and coldest planting temperatures, respectively. (See Sect. [2.26.2.3.1](#planting).)
* \\(GDD\_{min}\\) is a threshold describing the coolest historical climate a patch can have had in order for a crop to be sown there; see Sect. [2.26.2.3.1](#planting) for details.
* \\(GDD\_{mat}\\) is the heat unit index, in units of accumulated growing degree-days, a crop needs to reach maturity.
* \\(mxmat\\) is the maximum growing season length (days past planting), at which harvest occurs even if heat unit index has not reached \\(GDD\_{mat}\\).
* \\(z\_{top}^{\\max }\\) is the maximum top-of-canopy height of a crop (see Sect. [2.2.1.3](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Ecosystem/CLM50_Tech_Note_Ecosystem.html#vegetation-structure)).

Summary of the Article on Crop Phenology in CLM5-BGC-Crop:
Phenology in CLM5-BGC
- CLM5-BGC includes phenology algorithms for evergreen, seasonally deciduous, and stress deciduous vegetation.
- CLM5-BGC-crop uses the AgroIBIS crop phenology algorithm, which consists of three distinct phases.
Planting
- Crops must meet temperature and growing degree-day (GDD) requirements between the minimum and maximum planting dates.
- At planting, each crop seed pool is assigned 3 gC/m^2 from its grain product pool, which is transferred to the leaves upon emergence.
- The model updates the average GDD necessary for the crop to reach vegetative and physiological maturity (GDD_mat) based on AgroIBIS rules.
Leaf Emergence
- Leaves may emerge when the GDD of soil temperature to 0.05 m depth reaches 1-5% of GDD_mat.
- Leaf onset occurs at the start of phase 2, and leaf area index generally increases throughout this phase.
Grain Fill
- Phase 3 (grain fill) begins when the GDD of 2-m air temperature reaches 40-65% of GDD_mat, or when the maximum leaf area index is reached.
- In phase 3, the leaf area index begins to decline due to a background litterfall rate.
Harvest
- Harvest occurs when the GDD of 2-m air temperature reaches 100% of GDD_mat or the number of days past planting reaches a crop-specific maximum.

### 2.26.2.4. Allocation[](#allocation "Permalink to this headline")
Allocation changes based on the crop phenology phases phenology (section [2.26.2.3](#phenology)). Simulated C assimilation begins every year upon leaf emergence in phase 2 and ends with harvest at the end of phase 3; therefore, so does the allocation of such C to the crops leaf, live stem, fine root, and reproductive pools.
Typically, C:N ratios in plant tissue vary throughout the growing season and tend to be lower during early growth stages and higher in later growth stages. In order to account for this seasonal change, two sets of C:N ratios are established in CLM for the leaf, stem, and fine root of crops: one during the leaf emergence phase (phenology phase 2), and a second during grain fill phase (phenology phase 3). This modified C:N ratio approach accounts for the nitrogen retranslocation that occurs during the grain fill phase (phase 3) of crop growth. Leaf, stem, and root C:N ratios for phase 2 are calculated using the new CLM5 carbon and nitrogen allocation scheme (Chapter [2.19](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/CN_Allocation/CLM50_Tech_Note_CN_Allocation.html#rst-cn-allocation)), which provides a target C:N value ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)) and allows C:N to vary through time. During grain fill (phase 3) of the crop growth cycle, a portion of the nitrogen in the plant tissues is moved to a storage pool to fulfill nitrogen demands of organ (reproductive pool) development, such that the resulting C:N ratio of the plant tissue is reflective of measurements at harvest. All C:N ratios were determined by calibration process, through comparisons of model output versus observations of plant carbon throughout the growing season.
The BGC part of the model keeps track of a term representing excess maintenance respiration, which supplies the carbon required for maintenance respiration during periods of low photosynthesis (Chapter [2.17](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Plant_Respiration/CLM50_Tech_Note_Plant_Respiration.html#rst-plant-respiration)). Carbon supply for excess maintenance respiration cannot continue to happen after harvest for annual crops, so at harvest the excess respiration pool is turned into a flux that extracts CO2 directly from the atmosphere. This way any excess maintenance respiration remaining at harvest is eliminated as if such respiration had not taken place.
#### 2.26.2.4.1. Leaf emergence[](#leaf-emergence-to-grain-fill "Permalink to this headline")
During phase 2, the allocation coefficients (fraction of available C) to each C pool are defined as:
(2.26.4)[](#equation-25-4 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{l} {a\_{repr} =0} \\\\ {a\_{froot} =a\_{froot}^{i} -(a\_{froot}^{i} -a\_{froot}^{f} )\\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } }{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} } {\\rm \\; \\; \\; where\\; \\; \\; }\\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } }{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} } \\le 1} \\\\ {a\_{leaf} =(1-a\_{froot} )\\cdot \\frac{a\_{leaf}^{i} (e^{-b} -e^{-b\\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } }{h} } )}{e^{-b} -1} {\\rm \\; \\; \\; where\\; \\; \\; }b=0.1} \\\\ {a\_{livestem} =1-a\_{repr} -a\_{froot} -a\_{leaf} } \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(a\_{leaf}^{i}\\), \\(a\_{froot}^{i}\\), and \\(a\_{froot}^{f}\\) are initial and final values of these coefficients ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)), and _h_ is a heat unit threshold defined in section [2.26.2.3.3](#grain-fill). At a crop-specific maximum leaf area index, \\({L}\_{max}\\) ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)), carbon allocation is directed exclusively to the fine roots.
#### 2.26.2.4.2. Grain fill[](#grain-fill-to-harvest "Permalink to this headline")
The calculation of \\(a\_{froot}\\) remains the same from phase 2 to phase 3. During grain fill (phase 3), other allocation coefficients change to:
(2.26.5)[](#equation-25-5 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{ll} a\_{leaf} =a\_{leaf}^{i,3} & {\\rm when} \\quad a\_{leaf}^{i,3} \\le a\_{leaf}^{f} \\quad {\\rm else} \\\\ a\_{leaf} =a\_{leaf} \\left(1-\\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } -h}{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} d\_{L} -h} \\right)^{d\_{alloc}^{leaf} } \\ge a\_{leaf}^{f} & {\\rm where} \\quad \\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } -h}{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} d\_{L} -h} \\le 1 \\\\ \\\\ a\_{livestem} =a\_{livestem}^{i,3} & {\\rm when} \\quad a\_{livestem}^{i,3} \\le a\_{livestem}^{f} \\quad {\\rm else} \\\\ a\_{livestem} =a\_{livestem} \\left(1-\\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } -h}{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} d\_{L} -h} \\right)^{d\_{alloc}^{stem} } \\ge a\_{livestem}^{f} & {\\rm where} \\quad \\frac{GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} } -h}{GDD\_{{\\rm mat}} d\_{L} -h} \\le 1 \\\\ \\\\ a\_{repr} =1-a\_{froot} -a\_{livestem} -a\_{leaf} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(a\_{leaf}^{i,3}\\) and \\(a\_{livestem}^{i,3}\\) (initial values) equal the last \\(a\_{leaf}\\) and \\(a\_{livestem}\\) calculated in phase 2, \\(d\_{L}\\), \\(d\_{alloc}^{leaf}\\) and \\(d\_{alloc}^{stem}\\) are leaf area index and leaf and stem allocation decline factors, and \\(a\_{leaf}^{f}\\) and \\(a\_{livestem}^{f}\\) are final values of these allocation coefficients ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)).
#### 2.26.2.4.3. Nitrogen retranslocation for crops[](#nitrogen-retranslocation-for-crops "Permalink to this headline")
Nitrogen retranslocation in crops occurs when nitrogen that was used for tissue growth of leaves, stems, and fine roots during the early growth season is remobilized and used for grain development ([Pollmer et al. 1979](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#pollmeretal1979), [Crawford et al. 1982](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#crawfordetal1982), [Simpson et al. 1983](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#simpsonetal1983), [Ta and Weiland 1992](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#taweiland1992), [Barbottin et al. 2005](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#barbottinetal2005), [Gallais et al. 2006](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#gallaisetal2006), [Gallais et al. 2007](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#gallaisetal2007)). Nitrogen allocation for crops follows that of natural vegetation, is supplied in CLM by the soil mineral nitrogen pool, and depends on C:N ratios for leaves, stems, roots, and organs. Nitrogen demand during organ development is fulfilled through retranslocation from leaves, stems, and roots. Nitrogen retranslocation is initiated at the beginning of the grain fill stage for all crops except soybean, for which retranslocation is after LAI decline. Nitrogen stored in the leaf and stem is moved into a storage retranslocation pool for all crops, and for wheat and rice, nitrogen in roots is also released into the retranslocation storage pool. The quantity of nitrogen mobilized depends on the C:N ratio of the plant tissue and is calculated as
(2.26.6)[](#equation-25-6 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[leaf\\\_ to\\\_ retransn=N\_{leaf} -\\frac{C\_{leaf} }{CN\_{leaf}^{f} }\\\]
(2.26.7)[](#equation-25-7 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[stemn\\\_ to\\\_ retransn=N\_{stem} -\\frac{C\_{stem} }{CN\_{stem}^{f} }\\\]
(2.26.8)[](#equation-25-8 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[frootn\\\_ to\\\_ retransn=N\_{froot} -\\frac{C\_{froot} }{CN\_{froot}^{f} }\\\]
where \\({C}\_{leaf}\\), \\({C}\_{stem}\\), and \\({C}\_{froot}\\) is the carbon in the plant leaf, stem, and fine root, respectively, \\({N}\_{leaf}\\), \\({N}\_{stem}\\), and \\({N}\_{froot}\\) is the nitrogen in the plant leaf, stem, and fine root, respectively, and \\(CN^f\_{leaf}\\), \\(CN^f\_{stem}\\), and \\(CN^f\_{froot}\\) is the post-grain fill C:N ratio of the leaf, stem, and fine root respectively ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)). Since C:N measurements are often taken from mature crops, pre-grain development C:N ratios for leaves, stems, and roots in the model are optimized to allow maximum nitrogen accumulation for later use during organ development, and post-grain fill C:N ratios are assigned the same as crop residue. After nitrogen is moved into the retranslocated pool, the nitrogen in this pool is used to meet plant nitrogen demand by assigning the available nitrogen from the retranslocated pool equal to the plant nitrogen demand for each organ (\\({CN\_{\[organ\]}^{f} }\\) in [Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)). Once the retranslocation pool is depleted, soil mineral nitrogen pool is used to fulfill plant nitrogen demands.
#### 2.26.2.4.4. Harvest[](#harvest-to-food-and-seed "Permalink to this headline")
Whereas live crop C and N in grain was formerly transferred to the litter pool upon harvest, CLM5 splits this between “food” and “seed” pools. In the former—more generally a “crop product” pool—C and N decay to the atmosphere over one year, similar to how the wood product pools work. The latter is used in the subsequent year to account for the C and N required for crop seeding.
Live leaf and stem biomass at harvest is transferred to biofuel, removed residue, and/or litter pools.
For the biofuel crops Miscanthus and switchgrass, 70% of live leaf and stem biomass at harvest is transferred to the crop product pool as described for “food” harvest above. This value can be changed for these crops—or set to something other than the default zero for any other crop—with the parameter \\(biofuel\\\_harvfrac\\) (0-1).
50% of any remaining live leaf and stem biomass at harvest (after biofuel removal, if any) is removed to the crop product pool to represent off-field uses such as use for animal feed and bedding. This value can be changed with the parameter \\(crop\\\_residue\\\_removal\\\_frac\\) (01). The default 50% is derived from [Smerald et al. 2023](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#smeraldetal2023), who found a global average of 50% of residues left on the field. This includes residues burned in the field, meaning that our implementation implictly assumes the CLM crop burning representation will handle those residues appropriately.
The following equations illustrate how this works. Subscript \\(p\\) refers to either the leaf or live stem biomass pool.
(2.26.9)[](#equation-25-9 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ CF\_{p,biofuel} = \\left({CS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* biofuel\\\_harvfrac\\\]
(2.26.10)[](#equation-harv-c-to-removed-residue "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ CF\_{p,removed\\\_residue} = \\left({CS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* (1 - biofuel\\\_harvfrac) \* crop\\\_residue\\\_removal\\\_frac\\\]
(2.26.11)[](#equation-25-11 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ CF\_{p,litter} = \\left({CS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* \\left( 1-biofuel\\\_harvfrac \\right) \* \\left( 1-crop\\\_residue\\\_removal\\\_frac \\right) +CF\_{p,alloc}\\\]
with corresponding nitrogen fluxes:
(2.26.12)[](#equation-25-12 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ NF\_{p,biofuel} = \\left({NS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {NS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* biofuel\\\_harvfrac\\\]
(2.26.13)[](#equation-harv-n-to-removed-residue "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ NF\_{p,removed\\\_residue} = \\left({NS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {NS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* \\left( 1 - biofuel\\\_harvfrac \\right) \* crop\\\_residue\\\_removal\\\_frac\\\]
(2.26.14)[](#equation-25-14 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ NF\_{p,litter} = \\left({NS\_{p} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {NS\_{p} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t} \\right) \* \\left( 1-biofuel\\\_harvfrac \\right) \* \\left( 1-crop\\\_residue\\\_removal\\\_frac \\right)\\\]
where CF is the carbon flux, CS is stored carbon, NF is the nitrogen flux, NS is stored nitrogen, and \\(biofuel\\\_harvfrac\\) is the harvested fraction of leaf/livestem for biofuel feedstocks.
Annual food crop yields (g dry matter m\-2) can be calculated by saving the GRAINC\_TO\_FOOD\_ANN variable once per year, then postprocessing with Equation [(2.26.15)](#equation-25-15). This calculation assumes that grain C is 45% of the total dry weight. Additionally, harvest is not typically 100% efficient, so analysis needs to assume that harvest efficiency is less—we use 85%.
(2.26.15)[](#equation-25-15 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ \\text{Grain yield} = \\frac{GRAINC\\\_TO\\\_FOOD\\\_ANN)\*0.85}{0.45}\\\]

Here is a summary of the provided article:
## Allocation in Crop Modeling
### Leaf Emergence to Grain Fill
- Carbon allocation to different crop pools (leaf, live stem, fine root, reproductive) changes based on crop phenology.
- During the leaf emergence phase (phase 2), allocation coefficients are defined by equations that account for factors like leaf area index and heat units.
- At maximum leaf area index, carbon allocation goes exclusively to fine roots.
### Grain Fill to Harvest
- During the grain fill phase (phase 3), leaf and live stem allocation coefficients decline over time, while the reproductive allocation increases to meet nitrogen demands.
- Nitrogen retranslocation from leaves, stems, and roots occurs during grain fill to support reproductive development.
### Harvest
- At harvest, live leaf and stem biomass is partitioned between biofuel, removed residue, and litter pools based on specified fractions.
- Grain carbon and nitrogen are split between "food" and "seed" pools, with the food pool decaying to the atmosphere over a year.
- Crop yield can be calculated from the annual grain carbon flux to the food pool.
The article describes the detailed mechanisms in the Community Land Model (CLM) for simulating carbon and nitrogen allocation in crop systems over the growing season, accounting for dynamics like retranslocation during grain fill.

### 2.26.2.5. Other Features[](#other-features "Permalink to this headline")
#### 2.26.2.5.1. Physical Crop Characteristics[](#physical-crop-characteristics "Permalink to this headline")
Leaf area index (_L_) is calculated as a function of specific leaf area (SLA, [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)) and leaf C. Stem area index (_S_) is equal to 0.1_L_ for temperate and tropical corn, sugarcane, switchgrass, and miscanthus and 0.2_L_ for other crops, as in AgroIBIS. All live C and N pools go to 0 after crop harvest, but the _S_ is kept at 0.25 to simulate a post-harvest “stubble” on the ground.
Crop heights at the top and bottom of the canopy, \\({z}\_{top}\\) and \\({z}\_{bot}\\) (m), come from the AgroIBIS formulation:
(2.26.16)[](#equation-25-16 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{l} {z\_{top} =z\_{top}^{\\max } \\left(\\frac{L}{L\_{\\max } -1} \\right)^{2} \\ge 0.05{\\rm \\; where\\; }\\frac{L}{L\_{\\max } -1} \\le 1} \\\\ {z\_{bot} =0.02{\\rm m}} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(z\_{top}^{\\max }\\) is the maximum top-of-canopy height of the crop ([Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters)) and \\(L\_{\\max }\\) is the maximum leaf area index ([Table 2.26.3](#table-crop-allocation-parameters)).
#### 2.26.2.5.2. Interactive Fertilization[](#interactive-fertilization "Permalink to this headline")
CLM simulates fertilization by adding nitrogen directly to the soil mineral nitrogen pool to meet crop nitrogen demands using both industrial fertilizer and manure application. CLMs separate crop land unit ensures that natural vegetation will not access the fertilizer applied to crops. Fertilizer in CLM5BGCCROP is prescribed by crop functional types and varies spatially for each year based on the LUMIP land use and land cover change time series (LUH2 for historical and SSPs for future) ([Lawrence et al. 2016](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrenceetal2016)). One of two fields is used to prescribe industrial fertilizer based on the type of simulation. For non-transient simulations, annual fertilizer application in g N/m2/yr is specified on the land surface data set by the field CONST\_FERTNITRO\_CFT. In transient simulations, annual fertilizer application is specified on the land use time series file by the field FERTNITRO\_CFT, which is also in g N/m2/yr. The values for both of these fields come from the LUMIP time series for each year. In addition to the industrial fertilizer, background manure fertilizer is specified on the parameter file by the field `manunitro`. For perennial bioenergy crops, little fertilizer (56kg/ha/yr) is applied to switchgrass and no fertilizer is applied to Miscanthus. Note these rates are only based on local land management practices at the University of Illinois Energy Farm located in Central Midwestern United States [(Cheng et al., 2019)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#chengetal2019) rather than the LUMIP timeseries. For the current CLM5BGCCROP, manure N is applied at a rate of 0.002 kg N/m2/yr. Because previous versions of CLM (e.g., CLM4) had rapid denitrification rates, fertilizer is applied slowly to minimize N loss (primarily through denitrification) and maximize plant uptake. The current implementation of CLM5 inherits this legacy, although denitrification rates are slower in the current version of the model ([Koven et al. 2013](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2013)). As such, fertilizer application begins during the leaf emergence phase of crop development (phase 2) and continues for 20 days, which helps reduce large losses of nitrogen from leaching and denitrification during the early stage of crop development. The 20-day period is chosen as an optimization to limit fertilizer application to the emergence stage. A fertilizer counter in seconds, _f_, is set as soon as the leaf emergence phase for crops initiates:
(2.26.17)[](#equation-25-17 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ f = n \\times 86400\\\]
where _n_ is set to 20 fertilizer application days and 86400 is the number of seconds per day. When the crop enters phase 2 (leaf emergence) of its growth cycle, fertilizer application begins by initializing fertilizer amount to the total fertilizer at each column within the grid cell divided by the initialized _f_. Fertilizer is applied and _f_ is decremented each time step until a zero balance on the counter is reached.
#### 2.26.2.5.3. Biological nitrogen fixation for soybeans[](#biological-nitrogen-fixation-for-soybeans "Permalink to this headline")
Biological N fixation for soybeans is calculated by the fixation and uptake of nitrogen module (Chapter [2.18](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/FUN/CLM50_Tech_Note_FUN.html#rst-fun)) and is the same as N fixation in natural vegetation. Unlike natural vegetation, where a fraction of each PFT are N fixers, all soybeans are treated as N fixers.
#### 2.26.2.5.4. Latitudinal variation in base growth tempereature[](#latitudinal-variation-in-base-growth-tempereature "Permalink to this headline")
For most crops, \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\) (growing degree days since planting) is the same in all locations. However, for both rainfed and irrigated spring wheat and sugarcane, the calculation of \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\) allows for latitudinal variation:
(2.26.18)[](#equation-25-18 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}latitudinal\\ variation\\ in\\ base\\ T = \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{lr} baset +12 - 0.4 \\times latitude &\\qquad 0 \\le latitude \\le 30 \\\\ baset +12 + 0.4 \\times latitude &\\qquad -30 \\le latitude \\le 0 \\end{array} \\right\\}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(baset\\) is the _base temperature for GDD_ (7th row) in [Table 2.26.2](#table-crop-phenology-parameters). Such latitudinal variation in base temperature could slow \\(GDD\_{T\_{{\\rm 2m}} }\\) accumulation extend the growing season for regions within 30°S to 30°N for spring wheat and sugarcane.
#### 2.26.2.5.5. Separate reproductive pool[](#separate-reproductive-pool "Permalink to this headline")
One notable difference between natural vegetation and crops is the presence of reproductive carbon and nitrogen pools. Accounting for the reproductive pools helps determine whether crops are performing reasonably through yield calculations. The reproductive pool is maintained similarly to the leaf, stem, and fine root pools, but allocation of carbon and nitrogen does not begin until the grain fill stage of crop development. Equation [(2.26.5)](#equation-25-5) describes the carbon and nitrogen allocation coefficients to the reproductive pool. In CLM5BGCCROP, as allocation declines in stem, leaf, and root pools (see section [2.26.2.4.2](#grain-fill-to-harvest)) during the grain fill stage of growth, increasing amounts of carbon and nitrogen are available for grain development.
#### 2.26.2.5.6. Tillage[](#tillage "Permalink to this headline")
Tillage is represented as an enhancement of the decomposition rate coefficient; see section [2.21.4](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Decomposition/CLM50_Tech_Note_Decomposition.html#decomp-mgmt-modifiers).

Summary of the Article:
1. Physical Crop Characteristics:
- Leaf area index (L) is calculated based on specific leaf area and leaf carbon.
- Stem area index (S) is a fraction of L, varying by crop type.
- Crop heights at the top and bottom of the canopy are calculated using a formula.
2. Interactive Fertilization:
- CLM simulates fertilization by adding nitrogen directly to the soil mineral nitrogen pool.
- Fertilizer is prescribed based on crop functional types and varies spatially and temporally.
- Fertilizer is applied slowly during the leaf emergence phase to minimize nitrogen loss.
3. Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Soybeans:
- Soybean nitrogen fixation is calculated using the fixation and uptake of nitrogen module.
- All soybeans are treated as nitrogen fixers, unlike natural vegetation.
4. Latitudinal Variation in Base Growth Temperature:
- For spring wheat and sugarcane, the calculation of growing degree days (GDD) allows for latitudinal variation in base temperature.
- This can slow GDD accumulation and extend the growing season in regions within 30°S to 30°N.
5. Separate Reproductive Pool:
- Crops have a separate reproductive carbon and nitrogen pool, which helps determine crop performance through yield calculations.
- During the grain fill stage, carbon and nitrogen allocation to the reproductive pool increases as allocation to other pools declines.
6. Tillage:
- Tillage is represented as an enhancement of the decomposition rate coefficient.

## 2.26.3. The irrigation model[](#the-irrigation-model "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CLM includes the option to irrigate cropland areas that are equipped for irrigation. The application of irrigation responds dynamically to the soil moisture conditions simulated by the CLM. This irrigation algorithm is based loosely on the implementation of [Ozdogan et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#ozdoganetal2010).
When irrigation is enabled, the crop areas of each grid cell are divided into irrigated and rainfed fractions according to a dataset of areas equipped for irrigation ([Portmann et al. 2010](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#portmannetal2010)). Irrigated and rainfed crops are placed on separate soil columns, so that irrigation is only applied to the soil beneath irrigated crops.
In irrigated croplands, a check is made once per day to determine whether irrigation is required on that day. This check is made in the first time step after 6 AM local time. Irrigation is required if crop leaf area \\(>\\) 0, and the available soil water is below a specified threshold.
The soil moisture deficit \\(D\_{irrig}\\) is
(2.26.19)[](#equation-25-61 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}D\_{irrig} = \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{lr} w\_{target} - w\_{avail} &\\qquad w\_{thresh} > w\_{avail} \\\\ 0 &\\qquad w\_{thresh} \\le w\_{avail} \\end{array} \\right\\}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\(w\_{target}\\) is the irrigation target soil moisture (mm)
(2.26.20)[](#equation-25-62 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[w\_{target} = \\sum\_{j=1}^{N\_{irr}} \\theta\_{target} \\Delta z\_{j} \\ .\\\]
The irrigation moisture threshold (mm) is
(2.26.21)[](#equation-25-63 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[w\_{thresh} = f\_{thresh} \\left(w\_{target} - w\_{wilt}\\right) + w\_{wilt}\\\]
where \\(w\_{wilt}\\) is the wilting point soil moisture (mm)
(2.26.22)[](#equation-25-64 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[w\_{wilt} = \\sum\_{j=1}^{N\_{irr}} \\theta\_{wilt} \\Delta z\_{j} \\ ,\\\]
and \\(f\_{thresh}\\) is a tuning parameter. The available moisture in the soil (mm) is
(2.26.23)[](#equation-25-65 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[w\_{avail} = \\sum\_{j=1}^{N\_{irr}} \\theta\_{j} \\Delta z\_{j} \\ ,\\\]
Note that \\(w\_{target}\\) is truly supposed to give the target soil moisture value that were shooting for whenever irrigation happens; then the soil moisture deficit \\(D\_{irrig}\\) gives the difference between this target value and the current soil moisture. The irrigation moisture threshold \\(w\_{thresh}\\), on the other hand, gives a threshold at which we decide to do any irrigation at all. The way this is written allows for the possibility that one may not want to irrigate every time there becomes even a tiny soil moisture deficit. Instead, one may want to wait until the deficit is larger before initiating irrigation; at that point, one doesnt want to just irrigate up to the “threshold” but instead up to the higher “target”. The target should always be greater than or equal to the threshold.
\\(N\_{irr}\\) is the index of the soil layer corresponding to a specified depth \\(z\_{irrig}\\) ([Table 2.26.4](#table-irrigation-parameters)) and \\(\\Delta z\_{j}\\) is the thickness of the soil layer in layer \\(j\\) (section [2.2.2](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Ecosystem/CLM50_Tech_Note_Ecosystem.html#vertical-discretization)). \\(\\theta\_{j}\\) is the volumetric soil moisture in layer \\(j\\) (section [2.7.3](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Hydrology.html#soil-water)). \\(\\theta\_{target}\\) and \\(\\theta\_{wilt}\\) are the target and wilting point volumetric soil moisture values, respectively, and are determined by inverting [(2.7.53)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Hydrology.html#equation-7-94) using soil matric potential parameters \\(\\Psi\_{target}\\) and \\(\\Psi\_{wilt}\\) ([Table 2.26.4](#table-irrigation-parameters)). After the soil moisture deficit \\(D\_{irrig}\\) is calculated, irrigation in an amount equal to \\(\\frac{D\_{irrig}}{T\_{irrig}}\\) (mm/s) is applied uniformly over the irrigation period \\(T\_{irrig}\\) (s). Irrigation water is applied directly to the ground surface, bypassing canopy interception (i.e., added to \\({q}\_{grnd,liq}\\): section [2.7.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Hydrology.html#canopy-water)).
To conserve mass, irrigation is removed from river water storage (Chapter [2.14](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/MOSART/CLM50_Tech_Note_MOSART.html#rst-river-transport-model-rtm)). When river water storage is inadequate to meet irrigation demand, there are two options: 1) the additional water can be removed from the ocean model, or 2) the irrigation demand can be reduced such that river water storage is maintained above a specified threshold.

Summary of the Irrigation Model in the Community Land Model (CLM):
The Irrigation Model in CLM:
- Allows for irrigation of cropland areas equipped for irrigation.
- Irrigation is applied dynamically based on simulated soil moisture conditions.
- The model is based on the implementation by Ozdogan et al. (2010).
Irrigation Application:
- Croplands are divided into irrigated and rainfed fractions based on a dataset of areas equipped for irrigation.
- Irrigation is only applied to the soil beneath the irrigated crop fraction.
- Irrigation is checked once per day after 6 AM local time.
- Irrigation is required if crop leaf area is greater than 0 and the available soil water is below a specified threshold.
Calculation of Irrigation Amount:
- The soil moisture deficit (D_irrig) is calculated as the difference between the target soil moisture (w_target) and the available soil moisture (w_avail).
- The irrigation moisture threshold (w_thresh) determines when irrigation is initiated, allowing for a deficit before irrigation starts.
- The target soil moisture (w_target) and wilting point soil moisture (w_wilt) are calculated from target and wilting point volumetric soil moisture values.
- Irrigation is applied at a rate equal to the soil moisture deficit divided by the irrigation period (D_irrig/T_irrig).
Water Source and Conservation:
- Irrigation water is taken from river water storage to conserve mass.
- If river water storage is insufficient, the option is to either remove water from the ocean model or reduce the irrigation demand.

## 2.28.2. FATES[](#fates "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------
FATES is the “Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator”. It is an external module which can run within a given “Host Land Model” (HLM) like CLM.
FATES was derived from the CLM Ecosystem Demography model (CLM(ED)), which was documented in:
Fisher, R. A., Muszala, S., Verteinstein, M., Lawrence, P., Xu, C., McDowell, N. G., Knox, R. G., Koven, C., Holm, J., Rogers, B. M., Spessa, A., Lawrence, D., and Bonan, G.: Taking off the training wheels: the properties of a dynamic vegetation model without climate envelopes, CLM4.5(ED), Geosci. Model Dev., 8, 3593-3619, [https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-3593-2015](https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-3593-2015), 2015.
The Ecosystem Demography (ED), concept within FATES is derived from the work of [Moorcroft et al. (2001)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#mc-2001) and is a cohort model of vegetation competition and co-existence, allowing a representation of the biosphere which accounts for the division of the land surface into successional stages, and for competition for light between height structured cohorts of representative trees of various plant functional types.
The implementation of the Ecosystem Demography concept within FATES links the surface flux and canopy physiology concepts in CLM with numerous additional developments necessary to accommodate the new model. These include a version of the SPITFIRE (Spread and InTensity of Fire) model of [Thonicke et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#thonickeetal2010), and an adoption of the concept of Perfect Plasticity Approximation approach of [Purves et al. 2008](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#purves2008), [Lichstein et al. 2011](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lichstein2011) and [Weng et al. 2014](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#weng2014), in accounting for the spatial arrangement of crowns. Novel algorithms accounting for the fragmentation of coarse woody debris into chemical litter streams, for the physiological optimization of canopy thickness, for the accumulation of seeds in the seed bank, for multi-layer multi-PFT radiation transfer, for drought-deciduous and cold-deciduous phenology, for carbon storage allocation, and for tree mortality under carbon stress, are also included.

Title: Dynamic Global Vegetation and FATES
Summary:
Introduction
- This document provides a technical note on the Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) and the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) within the Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM).
Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM)
- DGVM is a component of CTSM that simulates the distribution and dynamics of natural vegetation in response to climate and other environmental factors.
- It represents different plant functional types (PFTs) and their competition, mortality, establishment, and biogeochemical processes.
- DGVM allows for the dynamic simulation of vegetation cover, structure, and composition, which can feedback to the climate system.
Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES)
- FATES is a more advanced vegetation model that replaces the traditional DGVM approach in CTSM.
- FATES represents the competition, growth, and mortality of individual plants within a grid cell, allowing for a more detailed representation of vegetation dynamics.
- It incorporates various plant traits and functional processes to simulate vegetation changes in response to environmental conditions.
Coupling FATES with CTSM
- FATES is coupled to the land surface model within CTSM, allowing for interactions between vegetation, soil, and the atmosphere.
- This coupling enables the simulation of vegetation-climate feedbacks and the response of vegetation to changing environmental conditions.
Conclusion
- The inclusion of DGVM and FATES in CTSM provides a sophisticated representation of vegetation dynamics and their interactions with the climate system.
- These models are important for understanding and simulating the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the Earth's climate system.

## 2.21.1. CLM-CN Pool Structure, Rate Constants and Parameters[](#clm-cn-pool-structure-rate-constants-and-parameters "Permalink to this headline")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CLM-CN structure in CLM45 uses three state variables for fresh litter and four state variables for soil organic matter (SOM). The masses of carbon and nitrogen in the live microbial community are not modeled explicitly, but the activity of these organisms is represented by decomposition fluxes transferring mass between the litter and SOM pools, and heterotrophic respiration losses associated with these transformations. The litter and SOM pools in CLM-CN are arranged as a converging cascade (Figure 15.2), derived directly from the implementation in Biome-BGC v4.1.2 (Thornton et al. 2002; Thornton and Rosenbloom, 2005).
Model parameters are estimated based on a synthesis of microcosm decomposition studies using radio-labeled substrates (Degens and Sparling, 1996; Ladd et al. 1992; Martin et al. 1980; Mary et al. 1993 Saggar et al. 1994; Sørensen, 1981; van Veen et al. 1984). Multiple exponential models are fitted to data from the microcosm studies to estimate exponential decay rates and respiration fractions (Thornton, 1998). The microcosm experiments used for parameterization were all conducted at constant temperature and under moist conditions with relatively high mineral nitrogen concentrations, and so the resulting rate constants are assumed not limited by the availability of water or mineral nitrogen. [Table 2.21.1](#table-decomposition-rate-constants) lists the base decomposition rates for each litter and SOM pool, as well as a base rate for physical fragmentation for the coarse woody debris pool (CWD).

The first column of [Table 2.21.1](#table-decomposition-rate-constants) gives the rates as used for the Biome-BGC model, which uses a discrete-time model with a daily timestep. The second column of [Table 2.21.1](#table-decomposition-rate-constants) shows the rates transformed for a one-hour discrete timestep typical of CLM-CN. The transformation is based on the conversion of the initial discrete-time value (\\({k}\_{disc1}\\) first to a continuous time value (\\({k}\_{cont}\\)), then to the new discrete-time value with a different timestep (\\({k}\_{disc2}\\)), following Olson (1963):
(2.21.3)[](#equation-zeqnnum608251 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[k\_{cont} =-\\log \\left(1-k\_{disc1} \\right)\\\]
(2.21.4)[](#equation-zeqnnum772630 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[k\_{disc2} =1-\\exp \\left(-k\_{cont} \\frac{\\Delta t\_{2} }{\\Delta t\_{1} } \\right)\\\]
where \\(\\Delta\\)\\({t}\_{1}\\) (s) and \\(\\Delta\\)t2 (s) are the time steps of the initial and new discrete-time models, respectively.
Respiration fractions are parameterized for decomposition fluxes out of each litter and SOM pool. The respiration fraction (_rf_, unitless) is the fraction of the decomposition carbon flux leaving one of the litter or SOM pools that is released as CO2 due to heterotrophic respiration. Respiration fractions and exponential decay rates are estimated simultaneously from the results of microcosm decomposition experiments (Thornton, 1998). The same values are used in CLM-CN and Biome-BGC ([Table 2.21.2](#table-respiration-fractions-for-litter-and-som-pools)).

Summary of the Article:
## CLM-CN Pool Structure, Rate Constants, and Parameters
The CLM-CN model in CLM45 uses three state variables for fresh litter and four state variables for soil organic matter (SOM). The model does not explicitly represent the masses of carbon and nitrogen in the live microbial community, but their activity is captured through decomposition fluxes transferring mass between the litter and SOM pools, and associated heterotrophic respiration losses.
The litter and SOM pools are arranged in a converging cascade, derived from the Biome-BGC v4.1.2 implementation. Model parameters are estimated based on a synthesis of microcosm decomposition studies using radio-labeled substrates.
The article provides tables listing the base decomposition rate constants for each litter and SOM pool, as well as the physical fragmentation rate for the coarse woody debris (CWD) pool. The rates are presented for both the Biome-BGC daily timestep and the typical CLM-CN one-hour timestep, with the transformation explained.
Additionally, the article includes a table of respiration fractions for the decomposition fluxes out of each litter and SOM pool. These respiration fractions were estimated simultaneously with the exponential decay rates from the microcosm decomposition experiments.

## 2.21.3. Environmental modifiers on decomposition rate[](#environmental-modifiers-on-decomposition-rate "Permalink to this headline")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These base rates are modified on each timestep by functions of the current soil environment. For the single-level model, there are two rate modifiers, temperature (\\({r}\_{tsoil}\\), unitless) and moisture (\\({r}\_{water}\\), unitless), both of which are calculated using the average environmental conditions of the top five model levels (top 29 cm of soil column). For the vertically-resolved model, two additional environmental modifiers are calculated beyond the temperature and moisture limitations: an oxygen scalar (\\({r}\_{oxygen}\\), unitless), and a depth scalar (\\({r}\_{depth}\\), unitless).
The Temperature scalar \\({r}\_{tsoil}\\) is calculated in CLM using a \\({Q}\_{10}\\) approach, with \\({Q}\_{10} = 1.5\\).
(2.21.5)[](#equation-21-5 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[r\_{tsoil} =Q\_{10} ^{\\left(\\frac{T\_{soil,\\, j} -T\_{ref} }{10} \\right)}\\\]
where _j_ is the soil layer index, \\({T}\_{soil,j}\\) (K) is the temperature of soil level _j_. The reference temperature \\({T}\_{ref}\\) = 25C.
The rate scalar for soil water potential (\\({r}\_{water}\\), unitless) is calculated using a relationship from Andrén and Paustian (1987) and supported by additional data in Orchard and Cook (1983):
(2.21.6)[](#equation-21-6 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}r\_{water} =\\sum \_{j=1}^{5}\\left\\{\\begin{array}{l} {0\\qquad {\\rm for\\; }\\Psi \_{j} <\\Psi \_{\\min } } \\\\ {\\frac{\\log \\left({\\Psi \_{\\min } \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {\\Psi \_{\\min } \\Psi \_{j} }} \\right.} \\Psi \_{j} } \\right)}{\\log \\left({\\Psi \_{\\min } \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {\\Psi \_{\\min } \\Psi \_{\\max } }} \\right.} \\Psi \_{\\max } } \\right)} w\_{soil,\\, j} \\qquad {\\rm for\\; }\\Psi \_{\\min } \\le \\Psi \_{j} \\le \\Psi \_{\\max } } \\\\ {1\\qquad {\\rm for\\; }\\Psi \_{j} >\\Psi \_{\\max } \\qquad \\qquad } \\end{array}\\right\\}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\({\\Psi}\_{j}\\) is the soil water potential in layer _j_, \\({\\Psi}\_{min}\\) is a lower limit for soil water potential control on decomposition rate (in CLM5, this was changed from a default value of -10 MPa used in CLM4.5 and earlier to a default value of -2.5 MPa). \\({\\Psi}\_{max,j}\\) (MPa) is the soil moisture at which decomposition proceeds at a moisture-unlimited rate. The default value of \\({\\Psi}\_{max,j}\\) for CLM5 is updated from a saturated value used in CLM4.5 and earlier, to a value nominally at field capacity, with a value of -0.002 MPa For frozen soils, the bulk of the rapid dropoff in decomposition with decreasing temperature is due to the moisture limitation, since matric potential is limited by temperature in the supercooled water formulation of Niu and Yang (2006),
(2.21.7)[](#equation-21-8 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\psi \\left(T\\right)=-\\frac{L\_{f} \\left(T-T\_{f} \\right)}{10^{3} T}\\\]
An additional frozen decomposition limitation can be specified using a frozen Q10 following [Koven et al. (2011)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2011), however the default value of this is the same as the unfrozen Q10 value, and therefore the basic hypothesis is that frozen respiration is limited by liquid water availability, and can be modeled following the same approach as thawed but dry soils.
An additional rate scalar, \\({r}\_{oxygen}\\) is enabled when the CH4 submodel is used (set equal to 1 for the single layer model or when the CH4 submodel is disabled). This limits decomposition when there is insufficient molecular oxygen to satisfy stoichiometric demand (1 mol O2 consumed per mol CO2 produced) from heterotrophic decomposers, and supply from diffusion through soil layers (unsaturated and saturated) or aerenchyma (Chapter 19). A minimum value of \\({r}\_{oxygen}\\) is set at 0.2, with the assumption that oxygen within organic tissues can supply the necessary stoichiometric demand at this rate. This value lies between estimates of 0.0250.1 (Frolking et al. 2001), and 0.35 (Wania et al. 2009); the large range of these estimates poses a large unresolved uncertainty.
Lastly, a possible explicit depth dependence, \\({r}\_{depth}\\), (set equal to 1 for the single layer model) can be applied to soil C decomposition rates to account for processes other than temperature, moisture, and anoxia that can limit decomposition. This depth dependence of decomposition was shown by Jenkinson and Coleman (2008) to be an important term in fitting total C and 14C profiles, and implies that unresolved processes, such as priming effects, microscale anoxia, soil mineral surface and/or aggregate stabilization may be important in controlling the fate of carbon at depth [Koven et al. (2013)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2013). CLM includes these unresolved depth controls via an exponential decrease in the soil turnover time with depth:
(2.21.8)[](#equation-21-9 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[r\_{depth} =\\exp \\left(-\\frac{z}{z\_{\\tau } } \\right)\\\]
where \\({z}\_{\\tau}\\) is the e-folding depth for decomposition. For CLM4.5, the default value of this was 0.5m. For CLM5, this has been changed to a default value of 10m, which effectively means that intrinsic decomposition rates may proceed as quickly at depth as at the surface.
The combined decomposition rate scalar (\\({r}\_{total}\\),unitless) is:
(2.21.9)[](#equation-21-10 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[r\_{total} =r\_{tsoil} r\_{water} r\_{oxygen} r\_{depth} .\\\]

Summary:
## Environmental Modifiers on Decomposition Rate
The base decomposition rates in the Community Land Model (CLM) are modified by several environmental factors on each time step:
1. Temperature Scalar (r_tsoil): Calculated using a Q10 approach, with Q10 = 1.5. This accounts for the effect of soil temperature on decomposition.
2. Moisture Scalar (r_water): Calculated based on soil water potential, using a relationship from Andrén and Paustian (1987). This accounts for the influence of soil moisture on decomposition.
3. Oxygen Scalar (r_oxygen): Enabled when the CH4 submodel is used, this limits decomposition when there is insufficient molecular oxygen for microbial demand.
4. Depth Scalar (r_depth): An exponential decrease in decomposition rate with depth, to account for processes like priming effects, microscale anoxia, and mineral/aggregate stabilization that are not explicitly resolved.
The combined decomposition rate scalar (r_total) is calculated as the product of these four environmental modifiers. This approach allows the model to capture the complex interactions between soil temperature, moisture, oxygen availability, and depth on the overall decomposition dynamics.

Summary:
## Management Modifiers on Decomposition Rate
The article discusses how tillage of cropland soil is represented in the model as an additional rate scalar that depends on tillage intensity, soil pool, and time since planting.
Key points:
- The tillage enhancement is strongest in the first 14 days after planting, weaker in the next 30 days, and weaker still in the next 30 days, becoming nonexistent after 75 days.
- The tillage decomposition rate scalars are provided in a table, showing the enhancement values for different soil pools (Litter 2, Litter 3, SOM 1, SOM 2, SOM 3) and two levels of tillage intensity (low and high).
- For example, the Litter 2 and Litter 3 pools have a decomposition rate enhancement of 1.5, 1.5, 1.1 for low tillage, and 1.8, 1.5, 1.1 for high tillage in the respective time periods (0-14 days, 15-44 days, 45-74 days).
- The SOM 2 and SOM 3 pools show the highest decomposition rate enhancements, especially in the first 14 days after planting.

## 2.21.5. N-limitation of Decomposition Fluxes[](#n-limitation-of-decomposition-fluxes "Permalink to this headline")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decomposition rates can also be limited by the availability of mineral nitrogen, but calculation of this limitation depends on first estimating the potential rates of decomposition, assuming an unlimited mineral nitrogen supply. The general case is described here first, referring to a generic decomposition flux from an “upstream” pool (_u_) to a “downstream” pool (_d_), with an intervening loss due to respiration The potential carbon flux out of the upstream pool (\\({CF}\_{pot,u}\\), gC m\-2 s\-1) is:
(2.21.10)[](#equation-21-11 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{pot,\\, u} =CS\_{u} k\_{u}\\\]
where \\({CS}\_{u}\\) (gC m\-2) is the initial mass in the upstream pool and \\({k}\_{u}\\) is the decay rate constant (s\-1) for the upstream pool, adjusted for temperature and moisture conditions. Depending on the C:N ratios of the upstream and downstream pools and the amount of carbon lost in the transformation due to respiration (the respiration fraction), the execution of this potential carbon flux can generate either a source or a sink of new mineral nitrogen (\\({NF}\_{pot\\\_min,u}\\)\\({}\_{\\rightarrow}\\)\\({}\_{d}\\), gN m\-2 s\-1). The governing equation (Thornton and Rosenbloom, 2005) is:
(2.21.11)[](#equation-21-12 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[NF\_{pot\\\_ min,\\, u\\to d} =\\frac{CF\_{pot,\\, u} \\left(1-rf\_{u} -\\frac{CN\_{d} }{CN\_{u} } \\right)}{CN\_{d} }\\\]
where \\({rf}\_{u}\\) is the respiration fraction for fluxes leaving the upstream pool, \\({CN}\_{u}\\) and \\({CN}\_{d}\\) are the C:N ratios for upstream and downstream pools, respectively Negative values of \\({NF}\_{pot\\\_min,u}\\)\\({}\_{\\rightarrow}\\)\\({}\_{d}\\) indicate that the decomposition flux results in a source of new mineral nitrogen, while positive values indicate that the potential decomposition flux results in a sink (demand) for mineral nitrogen.
Following from the general case, potential carbon fluxes leaving individual pools in the decomposition cascade, for the example of the CLM-CN pool structure, are given as:
(2.21.12)[](#equation-21-13 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{pot,\\, Lit1} ={CS\_{Lit1} k\_{Lit1} r\_{total} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{Lit1} k\_{Lit1} r\_{total} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t}\\\]
(2.21.13)[](#equation-21-14 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{pot,\\, Lit2} ={CS\_{Lit2} k\_{Lit2} r\_{total} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{Lit2} k\_{Lit2} r\_{total} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t}\\\]

(2.21.16)[](#equation-21-17 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{pot,\\, SOM2} ={CS\_{SOM2} k\_{SOM2} r\_{total} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{SOM2} k\_{SOM2} r\_{total} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t}\\\]
(2.21.17)[](#equation-21-18 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[CF\_{pot,\\, SOM3} ={CS\_{SOM3} k\_{SOM3} r\_{total} \\mathord{\\left/ {\\vphantom {CS\_{SOM3} k\_{SOM3} r\_{total} \\Delta t}} \\right.} \\Delta t}\\\]

where the factor (1/\\(\\Delta\\)_t_) is included because the rate constant is calculated for the entire timestep (Eqs. and ), but the convention is to express all fluxes on a per-second basis. Potential mineral nitrogen fluxes associated with these decomposition steps are, again for the example of the CLM-CN pool structure (the CENTURY structure will be similar but without the different terminal step):

where the special form of Eq. arises because there is no SOM pool downstream of SOM4 in the converging cascade: all carbon fluxes leaving that pool are assumed to be in the form of respired CO2, and all nitrogen fluxes leaving that pool are assumed to be sources of new mineral nitrogen.
Steps in the decomposition cascade that result in release of new mineral nitrogen (mineralization fluxes) are allowed to proceed at their potential rates, without modification for nitrogen availability. Steps that result in an uptake of mineral nitrogen (immobilization fluxes) are subject to rate limitation, depending on the availability of mineral nitrogen, the total immobilization demand, and the total demand for soil mineral nitrogen to support new plant growth. The potential mineral nitrogen fluxes from Eqs. - are evaluated, summing all the positive fluxes to generate the total potential nitrogen immobilization flux (\\({NF}\_{immob\\\_demand}\\), gN m\-2 s\-1), and summing absolute values of all the negative fluxes to generate the total nitrogen mineralization flux (\\({NF}\_{gross\\\_nmin}\\), gN m\-2 s\-1). Since \\({NF}\_{griss\\\_nmin}\\) is a source of new mineral nitrogen to the soil mineral nitrogen pool it is not limited by the availability of soil mineral nitrogen, and is therefore an actual as opposed to a potential flux.

Summary:
N-Limitation of Decomposition Fluxes
This section discusses how the availability of mineral nitrogen can limit decomposition rates in ecosystems. The key points are:
Potential Decomposition Fluxes
- The potential carbon flux out of an "upstream" pool (u) is given by the product of the pool size (CS_u) and the decay rate constant (k_u).
- The potential mineral nitrogen flux associated with this decomposition can be a source or sink, depending on the C:N ratios of the upstream and downstream pools, as well as the respiration fraction.
Equations for Potential Fluxes
- Equations are provided to calculate the potential carbon fluxes from different carbon pools (Lit1, Lit2, Lit3, SOM1, SOM2, SOM3, SOM4) in the CLM-CN model.
- Corresponding equations are given for the potential mineral nitrogen fluxes associated with these decomposition steps.
Mineralization vs. Immobilization
- Mineralization fluxes (release of new mineral nitrogen) are allowed to proceed at their potential rates without modification.
- Immobilization fluxes (uptake of mineral nitrogen) are subject to rate limitation based on mineral nitrogen availability, total immobilization demand, and total demand for soil mineral nitrogen to support plant growth.
Overall, the section describes the mathematical framework for calculating potential decomposition fluxes and how nitrogen availability can limit these fluxes in ecosystem models.

## 2.21.6. N Competition between plant uptake and soil immobilization fluxes[](#n-competition-between-plant-uptake-and-soil-immobilization-fluxes "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once \\({NF}\_{immob\\\_demand }\\) and \\({NF}\_{nit\\\_demand }\\) for each layer _j_ are known, the competition between plant and microbial nitrogen demand can be resolved. Mineral nitrogen in the soil pool (\\({NS}\_{sminn}\\), gN m\-2) at the beginning of the timestep is considered the available supply.
Here, the \\({NF}\_{plant\\\_demand}\\) is the theoretical maximum demand for nitrogen by plants to meet the entire carbon uptake given an N cost of zero (and therefore represents the upper bound on N requirements). N uptake costs that are \\(>\\) 0 imply that the plant will take up less N that it demands, ultimately. However, given the heuristic nature of the N competition algorithm, this discrepancy is not explicitly resolved here.
The hypothetical plant nitrogen demand from the soil mineral pool is distributed between layers in proportion to the profile of available mineral N:
(2.21.26)[](#equation-21-291 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[NF\_{plant\\\_ demand,j} = NF\_{plant\\\_ demand} NS\_{sminn\\\_ j} / \\sum \_{j=1}^{nj}NS\_{sminn,j}\\\]
Plants first compete for ammonia (NH4). For each soil layer (_j_), we calculate the total NH4 demand as:
(2.21.27)[](#equation-21-292 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[NF\_{total\\\_ demand\_nh4,j} = NF\_{immob\\\_ demand,j} + NF\_{immob\\\_ demand,j} + NF\_{nit\\\_ demand,j}\\\]
where If \\({NF}\_{total\\\_demand,j}\\)\\(\\Delta\\)_t_ \\(<\\) \\({NS}\_{sminn,j}\\), then the available pool is large enough to meet both the maximum plant and microbial demand, then immobilization proceeds at the maximum rate.
(2.21.28)[](#equation-21-29 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[f\_{immob\\\_demand,j} = 1.0\\\]
where \\({f}\_{immob\\\_demand,j}\\) is the fraction of potential immobilization demand that can be met given current supply of mineral nitrogen in this layer. We also set the actual nitrification flux to be the same as the potential flux (\\(NF\_{nit}\\) = \\(NF\_{nit\\\_ demand}\\)).
If \\({NF}\_{total\\\_demand,j} \\Delta t \\mathrm{\\ge} {NS}\_{sminn,j}\\), then there is not enough mineral nitrogen to meet the combined demands for plant growth and heterotrophic immobilization, immobilization is reduced proportional to the discrepancy, by \\(f\_{immob\\\_ demand,j}\\), where
(2.21.29)[](#equation-21-30 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[f\_{immob\\\_ demand,j} = \\frac{NS\_{sminn,j} }{\\Delta t\\, NF\_{total\\\_ demand,j} }\\\]
The N available to the FUN model for plant uptake (\\({NF}\_ {plant\\\_ avail\\\_ sminn}\\) (gN m\-2), which determines both the cost of N uptake, and the absolute limit on the N which is available for acquisition, is calculated as the total mineralized pool minus the actual immobilized flux:
(2.21.30)[](#equation-21-311 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[NF\_{plant\\\_ avail\\\_ sminn,j} = NS\_{sminn,j} - f\_{immob\\\_demand} NF\_{immob\\\_ demand,j}\\\]
This treatment of competition for nitrogen as a limiting resource is referred to a demand-based competition, where the fraction of the available resource that eventually flows to a particular process depends on the demand from that process in comparison to the total demand from all processes. Processes expressing a greater demand acquire a larger vfraction of the available resource.

Summary:
## Competition between Plant Uptake and Soil Immobilization Fluxes
- The competition between plant nitrogen demand and microbial nitrogen demand is resolved based on the available mineral nitrogen in the soil pool.
- The theoretical maximum plant nitrogen demand is distributed across soil layers in proportion to the available mineral nitrogen in each layer.
- Plants first compete for ammonia (NH4), and the total NH4 demand is calculated as the sum of the immobilization and nitrification demands.
- If the total NH4 demand is less than the available mineral nitrogen, immobilization proceeds at the maximum rate.
- If the total NH4 demand exceeds the available mineral nitrogen, immobilization is reduced proportionally to the discrepancy.
- The nitrogen available for plant uptake is calculated as the total mineralized pool minus the actual immobilized flux.
- This process of competition for nitrogen as a limiting resource is referred to as a demand-based competition, where the fraction of the available resource that flows to a particular process depends on the demand from that process relative to the total demand.

Summary:
## Final Decomposition Fluxes
The article outlines the calculations for the final decomposition fluxes in the carbon and nitrogen cycling models, specifically the CLM-CN and CENTURY pool structures.
Key Points:
1. Final carbon fluxes leaving the individual litter and soil organic matter (SOM) pools are calculated based on the potential carbon fluxes and the immobilization demand factor (`f_immob_demand`).
2. Heterotrophic respiration fluxes (losses of carbon as CO2 to the atmosphere) are calculated for each pool by multiplying the final carbon flux by the respective respiration fraction.
3. Transfers of carbon from upstream to downstream pools in the decomposition cascade are calculated as the final carbon flux minus the heterotrophic respiration flux.
4. Nitrogen fluxes between pools are calculated based on the carbon fluxes and the carbon-to-nitrogen ratios of the pools.
5. The nitrogen fluxes to or from the soil mineral nitrogen pool depend on whether the decomposition step is an immobilization flux or a mineralization flux.
The equations provided in the article demonstrate the detailed calculations required to model the final decomposition fluxes of carbon and nitrogen in the soil biogeochemical cycling.

## 2.21.8. Vertical Distribution and Transport of Decomposing C and N pools[](#vertical-distribution-and-transport-of-decomposing-c-and-n-pools "Permalink to this headline")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional terms are needed to calculate the vertically-resolved soil C and N budget: the initial vertical distribution of C and N from PFTs delivered to the litter and CWD pools, and the vertical transport of C and N pools.
For initial vertical inputs, CLM uses separate profiles for aboveground (leaf, stem) and belowground (root) inputs. Aboveground inputs are given a single exponential with default e-folding depth = 0.1m. Belowground inputs are distributed according to rooting profiles with default values based on the Jackson et al. (1996) exponential parameterization.
Vertical mixing is accomplished by an advection-diffusion equation. The goal of this is to consider slow, soild- and adsorbed-phase transport due to bioturbation, cryoturbation, and erosion. Faster aqueous-phase transport is not included in CLM, but has been developed as part of the CLM-BeTR suite of parameterizations (Tang and Riley 2013). The default value of the advection term is 0 cm/yr, such that transport is purely diffusive. Diffusive transport differs in rate between permafrost soils (where cryoturbation is the dominant transport term) and non-permafrost soils (where bioturbation dominates). For permafrost soils, a parameterization based on that of [Koven et al. (2009)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2009) is used: the diffusivity parameter is constant through the active layer, and decreases linearly from the base of the active layer to zero at a set depth (default 3m); the default permafrost diffusivity is 5 cm2/yr. For non-permafrost soils, the default diffusivity is 1 cm2/yr.

**Vertical Distribution and Transport of Decomposing C and N Pools**
The article discusses the additional terms needed to calculate the vertically-resolved soil C and N budget in the Community Land Model (CLM):

2. Vertical Mixing:
- Achieved through an advection-diffusion equation to account for slow, solid- and adsorbed-phase transport due to bioturbation, cryoturbation, and erosion.
- Faster aqueous-phase transport is not included in CLM, but has been developed as part of the CLM-BeTR suite of parameterizations.
- The default value of the advection term is 0 cm/yr, resulting in purely diffusive transport.
- Diffusive transport rates differ between permafrost and non-permafrost soils:
- For permafrost soils, a parameterization based on Koven et al. (2009) is used, with a constant diffusivity in the active layer and a linear decrease to zero at a depth of 3m (default).
- For non-permafrost soils, the default diffusivity is 1 cm2/yr.
In summary, the article outlines the methods used in CLM to account for the initial vertical distribution of C and N inputs and the subsequent vertical transport of these decomposing pools through diffusive processes, with differences in the parameterization for permafrost and non-permafrost soils.

## 2.21.9. Model Equilibration and its Acceleration[](#model-equilibration-and-its-acceleration "Permalink to this headline")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For transient experiments, it is usually assumed that the carbon cycle is starting from a point of relatively close equilibrium, i.e. that productivity is balanced by ecosystem carbon losses through respiratory and disturbance pathways. In order to satisfy this assumption, the model is generally run until the productivity and loss terms find a stable long-term equilibrium; at this point the model is considered spun up.
Because of the coupling between the slowest SOM pools and productivity through N downregulation of photosynthesis, equilibration of the model for initialization purposes will take an extremely long time in the standard mode. This is particularly true for the CENTURY-based decomposition cascade, which includes a passive pool. In order to rapidly equilibrate the model, a modified version of the “accelerated decomposition” [(Thornton and Rosenbloon, 2005)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#thorntonrosenbloom2005) is used. The fundamental idea of this approach is to allow fluxes between the various pools (both turnover-defined and vertically-defined fluxes) adjust rapidly, while keeping the pool sizes themselves small so that they can fill quickly To do this, the base decomposition rate \\({k}\_{i}\\) for each pool _i_ is accelerated by a term \\({a}\_{i}\\) such that the slow pools are collapsed onto an approximately annual timescale [Koven et al. (2013)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2013). Accelerating the pools beyond this timescale distorts the seasonal and/or diurnal cycles of decomposition and N mineralization, thus leading to a substantially different ecosystem productivity than the full model. For the vertical model, the vertical transport terms are also accelerated by the same term \\({a}\_{i}\\), as is the radioactive decay when \\({}^{14}\\)C is enabled, following the same principle of keeping fluxes between pools (or fluxes lost to decay close to the full model while keeping the pools sizes small. When leaving the accelerated decomposition mode, the concentration of C and N in pools that had been accelerated are multiplied by the same term \\({a}\_{i}\\), to bring the model into approximate equilibrium Note that in CLM, the model can also transition into accelerated decomposition mode from the standard mode (by dividing the pools by \\({a}\_{i}\\)), and that the transitions into and out of accelerated decomposition mode are handled automatically by CLM upon loading from restart files (which preserve information about the mode of the model when restart files were written).
The base acceleration terms for the two decomposition cascades are shown in Tables 15.1 and 15.3. In addition to the base terms, CLM5 also includes a geographic term to the acceleration in order to apply larger values to high-latitude systems, where decomposition rates are particularly slow and thus equilibration can take significantly longer than in temperate or tropical climates. This geographic term takes the form of a logistic equation, where \\({a}\_{i}\\) is equal to the product of the base acceleration term and \\({a}\_{l}\\) below:
(2.21.64)[](#equation-21-65 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[ a\_l = 1 + 50 / \\left ( 1 + exp \\left (-0.1 \* (abs(latitude) - 60 ) \\right ) \\right )\\\]

Here is a concise summary of the article:
## Model Equilibration and Acceleration
The article discusses the equilibration process required for transient experiments in carbon cycle models. To satisfy the assumption that productivity is balanced by ecosystem carbon losses, the model must be "spun up" until it reaches a stable long-term equilibrium.
However, due to the coupling between slow soil organic matter (SOM) pools and productivity, the standard equilibration process can be extremely slow, particularly for models with a passive SOM pool. To accelerate equilibration, the article describes a modified "accelerated decomposition" approach.
The key aspects of this approach are:
1. Accelerating the base decomposition rates (ki) of the various pools by a factor (ai) to collapse the slow pools onto an annual timescale.
2. Accelerating the vertical transport terms and radioactive decay (when 14C is enabled) by the same factor (ai).
3. Applying a geographic term (al) that increases the acceleration at higher latitudes, where decomposition is slower.
When transitioning out of the accelerated mode, the pool concentrations are multiplied by the inverse of the acceleration factors (1/ai) to bring the model back to approximate equilibrium.
This accelerated equilibration approach allows the model to rapidly reach a stable state while preserving the essential dynamics of the full model, enabling efficient initialization for transient experiments.

Markdown Content:
Decomposition of fresh litter material into progressively more recalcitrant forms of soil organic matter is represented in CLM is defined as a cascade of \\({k}\_{tras}\\) transformations between \\({m}\_{pool}\\) decomposing coarse woody debris (CWD), litter, and soil organic matter (SOM) pools, each defined at \\({n}\_{lev}\\) vertical levels. CLM allows the user to define, at compile time, between 2 contrasting hypotheses of decomposition as embodied by two separate decomposition submodels: the CLM-CN pool structure used in CLM4.0, or a second pool structure, characterized by slower decomposition rates, based on the fCentury model (Parton et al 1988). In addition, the user can choose, at compile time, whether to allow \\({n}\_{lev}\\) to equal 1, as in CLM4.0, or to equal the number of soil levels used for the soil hydrological and thermal calculations (see Section [2.2.2.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Ecosystem/CLM50_Tech_Note_Ecosystem.html#soil-layers) for soil layering).

Model is structured to allow different representations of the soil C and N decomposition cascade, as well as a vertically-explicit treatment of soil biogeochemistry.
For the single-level model structure, the fundamental equation for carbon balance of the decomposing pools is:
(2.21.1)[](#equation-21-1 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\frac{\\partial C\_{i} }{\\partial t} =R\_{i} +\\sum \_{j\\ne i}\\left(i-r\_{j} \\right)T\_{ji} k\_{j} C\_{j} -k\_{i} C\_{i}\\\]
where \\({C}\_{i}\\) is the carbon content of pool _i_, \\({R}\_{i}\\) are the carbon inputs from plant tissues directly to pool _i_ (only non-zero for CWD and litter pools), \\({k}\_{i}\\) is the decay constant of pool _i_; \\({T}\_{ji}\\) is the fraction of carbon directed from pool _j_ to pool _i_ with fraction \\({r}\_{j}\\) lost as a respiration flux along the way.
Adding the vertical dimension to the decomposing pools changes the balance equation to the following:
(2.21.2)[](#equation-21-2 "Permalink to this equation")\\\[\\begin{split}\\begin{array}{l} {\\frac{\\partial C\_{i} (z)}{\\partial t} =R\_{i} (z)+\\sum \_{i\\ne j}\\left(1-r\_{j} \\right)T\_{ji} k\_{j} (z)C\_{j} (z) -k\_{i} (z)C\_{i} (z)} \\\\ {+\\frac{\\partial }{\\partial z} \\left(D(z)\\frac{\\partial C\_{i} }{\\partial z} \\right)+\\frac{\\partial }{\\partial z} \\left(A(z)C\_{i} \\right)} \\end{array}\\end{split}\\\]
where \\({C}\_{i}\\)(z) is now defined at each model level, and in volumetric (gC m\-3) rather than areal (gC m\-2) units, along with \\({R}\_{i}\\)(z) and \\({k}\_{j}\\)(z). In addition, vertical transport is handled by the last two terms, for diffusive and advective transport. In the base model, advective transport is set to zero, leaving only a diffusive flux with diffusivity _D(z)_ defined for all decomposing carbon and nitrogen pools. Further discussion of the vertical distribution of carbon inputs \\({R}\_{i}\\)(z), vertical turnover times \\({k}\_{j}\\)(z), and vertical transport _D(z)_ is below Discussion of the vertical model and analysis of both decomposition structures is in [Koven et al.

Summary:
## Decomposition in the Community Land Model (CLM)
The article describes the representation of decomposition of organic matter in the Community Land Model (CLM). Key points:
### Decomposition Modeling
- CLM allows the user to choose between two different decomposition submodels:
1. The CLM-CN pool structure used in CLM4.0
2. A second pool structure based on the CENTURY model, with slower decomposition rates
- The decomposition process is modeled as a cascade of transformations between different organic matter pools (coarse woody debris, litter, soil organic matter)
- The decomposition can be modeled either as a single vertical level or with multiple vertical soil layers
### Equations
- For the single-level model, the carbon balance equation accounts for inputs, transfers between pools, and decomposition losses
- For the multilevel model, the equation also includes vertical transport via diffusion and advection
### Figures
- Figure 2.21.1 shows a schematic of the decomposition model
- Figure 2.21.2 compares the pool structures, transitions, respired fractions, and turnover times for the two alternate decomposition submodels
In summary, the article describes the flexibility of the CLM to represent different conceptual models of soil organic matter decomposition, including both single-level and vertically-explicit treatments.

Summary of the Dust Model in the CTSM Documentation:
Dust Mobilization and Transport:
- The CLM dust mobilization scheme accounts for key factors like wind friction speed, vegetation cover, and soil moisture, based on the DEAD (Dust Entrainment and Deposition) model.
- The total vertical mass flux of dust (F_j) from the ground into transport bin j is calculated using Eq. (2.30.1), which considers factors like source erodibility, sandblasting mass efficiency, and total horizontal saltating mass flux (Q_s).
- The grid cell fraction of exposed bare soil suitable for dust mobilization (f_m) is calculated using Eq. (2.30.2), incorporating factors like lake/snow cover and the ratio of liquid to total soil water.
- The sandblasting mass efficiency (α) is calculated based on the clay content of the soil using Eq. (2.30.4).
- The total horizontal saltating mass flux (Q_s) is calculated using Eq. (2.30.5), which depends on the wind friction speed and threshold wind friction speed for saltation.
Threshold Wind Friction Speed:
- The threshold wind friction speed for saltation (u_*t) is calculated using Eq. (2.30.6), which considers factors like surface roughness, particle properties, and soil moisture.
- The soil moisture factor (f_w) is calculated using Eq. (2.30.7) and Eq. (2.30.8), based on the clay content and soil moisture in the top soil layer.
Dust Transport Bins:
- The mass fraction (M_i,j) of each dust source mode i in each transport bin j is calculated using Eq. (2.30.14), based on the assigned mass fraction, mass median diameter, and geometric standard deviation for each source mode.
- The dust source mode properties are provided in Table 2.30.1, and the minimum and maximum particle diameters for each transport bin are given in Table 2.30.2.

### 2.2.1.1. Surface Heterogeneity and Data Structure[](#surface-heterogeneity-and-data-structure "Permalink to this headline")
Spatial land surface heterogeneity in CLM is represented as a nested subgrid hierarchy in which grid cells are composed of multiple land units, snow/soil columns, and PFTs ([Figure 2.2.1](#figure-clm-subgrid-hierarchy)). Each grid cell can have a different number of land units, each land unit can have a different number of columns, and each column can have multiple PFTs. The first subgrid level, the land unit, is intended to capture the broadest spatial patterns of subgrid heterogeneity. The current land units are glacier, lake, urban, vegetated, and crop (when the crop model option is turned on). The land unit level can be used to further delineate these patterns. For example, the urban land unit is divided into density classes representing the tall building district, high density, and medium density urban areas.
The second subgrid level, the column, is intended to capture potential variability in the soil and snow state variables within a single land unit. For example, the vegetated land unit could contain several columns with independently evolving vertical profiles of soil water and temperature. Similarly, the managed vegetation land unit can be divided into two columns, irrigated and non-irrigated. The default snow/soil column is represented by 25 layers for ground (with up to 20 of these layers classified as soil layers and the remaining layers classified as bedrock layers) and up to 10 layers for snow, depending on snow depth. The central characteristic of the column subgrid level is that this is where the state variables for water and energy in the soil and snow are defined, as well as the fluxes of these components within the soil and snow. Regardless of the number and type of PFTs occupying space on the column, the column physics operates with a single set of upper boundary fluxes, as well as a single set of transpiration fluxes from multiple soil levels. These boundary fluxes are weighted averages over all PFTs. Currently, for lake and vegetated land units, a single column is assigned to each land unit. The crop land unit is split into irrigated and unirrigated columns with a single crop occupying each column. The urban land units have five columns (roof, sunlit walls and shaded walls, and pervious and impervious canyon floor) (Oleson et al. 2010b). The glacier land unit is separated into up to 10 elevation classes.

Abbreviations: TBD Tall Building District; HD High Density; MD Medium Density, G Glacier, L Lake, U Urban, C Crop, V Vegetated, PFT Plant Functional Type, Irr Irrigated, UIrr Unirrigated. Red arrows indicate allowed land unit transitions. Purple arrows indicate allowed patch-level transitions.[](#id14 "Permalink to this image")
The third subgrid level is referred to as the patch level. Patches can be PFTs or bare ground on the vegetated land unit and crop functional types (CFTs) on the crop land unit. The patch level is intended to capture the biogeophysical and biogeochemical differences between broad categories of plants in terms of their functional characteristics. On the vegetated land unit, up to 16 possible PFTs that differ in physiology and structure may coexist on a single column. All fluxes to and from the surface are defined at the PFT level, as are the vegetation state variables (e.g. vegetation temperature and canopy water storage). On the crop land unit, typically, different crop types can be represented on each crop land unit column (see Chapter [2.26](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Crop_Irrigation/CLM50_Tech_Note_Crop_Irrigation.html#rst-crops-and-irrigation) for details).
In addition to state and flux variable data structures for conserved components at each subgrid level (e.g., energy, water, carbon), each subgrid level also has a physical state data structure for handling quantities that are not involved in conservation checks (diagnostic variables). For example, the urban canopy air temperature and humidity are defined through physical state variables at the land unit level, the number of snow layers and the soil roughness lengths are defined as physical state variables at the column level, and the leaf area index and the fraction of canopy that is wet are defined as physical state variables at the PFT level.
The standard configuration of the model subgrid hierarchy is illustrated in [Figure 2.2.1](#figure-clm-subgrid-hierarchy). Here, only four PFTs are shown associated with the single column beneath the vegetated land unit but up to sixteen are possible. The crop land unit is present only when the crop model is active.
Note that the biogeophysical processes related to soil and snow require PFT level properties to be aggregated to the column level. For example, the net heat flux into the ground is required as a boundary condition for the solution of snow/soil temperatures (Chapter [2.6](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Soil_Snow_Temperatures/CLM50_Tech_Note_Soil_Snow_Temperatures.html#rst-soil-and-snow-temperatures)). This column level property must be determined by aggregating the net heat flux from all PFTs sharing the column. This is generally accomplished in the model by computing a weighted sum of the desired quantity over all PFTs whose weighting depends on the PFT area relative to all PFTs, unless otherwise noted in the text.

Summary of the Article:
**Surface Heterogeneity and Data Structure**
The article discusses how spatial land surface heterogeneity is represented in the Community Land Model (CLM) through a nested subgrid hierarchy. This hierarchy consists of the following levels:
1. Grid Cell: The grid cell can contain multiple land units.
2. Land Unit: The land units include glacier, lake, urban, vegetated, and crop (when the crop model is active). Each land unit can have a different number of columns.
3. Column: The column level captures variability in soil and snow state variables within a single land unit. Each column can have multiple plant functional types (PFTs).
4. Patch: The patch level represents PFTs or bare ground on the vegetated land unit, and crop functional types (CFTs) on the crop land unit.
The article explains that the subgrid levels are designed to capture different aspects of land surface heterogeneity. The column level is where the state variables and fluxes for water and energy in the soil and snow are defined. Fluxes at the PFT level are aggregated to the column level for processes related to soil and snow.
The article provides a detailed illustration of the standard configuration of the model subgrid hierarchy, showing the relationships between the different levels and the potential PFTs and CFTs that can be represented.

### 2.2.1.2. Vegetation Composition[](#vegetation-composition "Permalink to this headline")
Vegetated surfaces are comprised of up to 15 possible plant functional types (PFTs) plus bare ground ([Table 2.2.1](#table-plant-functional-types)). An additional PFT is added if the irrigation model is active and six additional PFTs are added if the crop model is active (Chapter [2.26](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Crop_Irrigation/CLM50_Tech_Note_Crop_Irrigation.html#rst-crops-and-irrigation)). In [Table 2.2.1](#table-plant-functional-types), IVT = 0,14 refers to the index of PCT\_NAT\_VEG on the surface dataset while IVT = 15,18 refers to the index of PCT\_CFT on the surface dataset. These plant types differ in leaf and stem optical properties that determine reflection, transmittance, and absorption of solar radiation ([Table 2.3.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Surface_Albedos/CLM50_Tech_Note_Surface_Albedos.html#table-plant-functional-type-optical-properties)), root distribution parameters that control the uptake of water from the soil ([Table 2.11.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Plant_Hydraulics/CLM50_Tech_Note_Plant_Hydraulics.html#table-plant-functional-type-root-distribution-parameters)), aerodynamic parameters that determine resistance to heat, moisture, and momentum transfer ([Table 2.5.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Fluxes/CLM50_Tech_Note_Fluxes.html#table-plant-functional-type-aerodynamic-parameters)), and photosynthetic parameters that determine stomatal resistance, photosynthesis, and transpiration ([Table 2.9.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Photosynthesis/CLM50_Tech_Note_Photosynthesis.html#table-plant-functional-type-pft-stomatal-conductance-parameters), [Table 2.9.2](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Photosynthesis/CLM50_Tech_Note_Photosynthesis.html#table-temperature-dependence-parameters-for-c3-photosynthesis)). The composition and abundance of PFTs within a grid cell can either be prescribed as time-invariant fields (e.g., using the present day dataset described in section 21.3.3) or can evolve with time if the model is run in transient landcover mode (Chapter [2.27](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Transient_Landcover/CLM50_Tech_Note_Transient_Landcover.html#rst-transient-landcover-change)).

Summary of the Article:
Vegetation Composition
The vegetated surfaces in the model are composed of up to 15 possible plant functional types (PFTs) plus bare ground. Additional PFTs are added if the irrigation or crop models are active.
The PFTs differ in various parameters that affect the plant's interaction with the environment, such as:
- Leaf and stem optical properties that determine radiation interactions
- Root distribution parameters that control water uptake from the soil
- Aerodynamic parameters that affect heat, moisture, and momentum transfer
- Photosynthetic parameters that determine stomatal resistance, photosynthesis, and transpiration
The composition and abundance of PFTs within a grid cell can be either prescribed as time-invariant fields or can evolve dynamically if the model is run in transient land cover mode.
The table provided lists the 15 base PFTs, their acronyms, and their corresponding IVT (index of vegetation type) values in the surface dataset. Additional PFTs are added if the irrigation or crop models are active.

### 2.2.1.3. Vegetation Structure[](#vegetation-structure "Permalink to this headline")
Vegetation structure is defined by leaf and stem area indices (\\(L,\\, S\\)) and canopy top and bottom heights (\\(z\_{top}\\),\\(z\_{bot}\\) ).

Summary:
Vegetation Structure
The vegetation structure in the model is defined by the leaf and stem area indices (L, S) as well as the canopy top and bottom heights (ztop, zbot) for each Plant Functional Type (PFT). These values are obtained from gridded datasets, with leaf and stem area indices coming from monthly values, and canopy heights for trees from satellite data. For short vegetation, the canopy heights are invariant and based on PFT-specific values.
When the biogeochemistry model is active, the vegetation state (LAI, SAI, canopy heights) is calculated prognostically, as described in Chapter 2.20 of the technical note.
The table in the article provides the prescribed canopy top and bottom heights for different PFTs, ranging from 0.5 m to 0.01 m for the bottom height.

### 2.2.1.4. Phenology and vegetation burial by snow[](#phenology-and-vegetation-burial-by-snow "Permalink to this headline")
When the biogeochemistry model is inactive, leaf and stem area indices (m2 leaf area m\-2 ground area) are updated daily by linearly interpolating between monthly values. Monthly PFT leaf area index values are developed from the 1-km MODIS-derived monthly grid cell average leaf area index of [Myneni et al. (2002)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#mynenietal2002), as described in [Lawrence and Chase (2007)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrencechase2007). Stem area ndex is calculated from the monthly PFT leaf area index using the methods of [Zeng et al. (2002)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#zengetal2002). The leaf and stem area indices are adjusted for vertical burying by snow ([Wang and Zeng 2009](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#wangzeng2009)) as

For numerical reasons, exposed leaf and stem area are set to zero if less than 0.05. If the sum of exposed leaf and stem area is zero, then the surface is treated as snow-covered ground.

Summary:
Phenology and Vegetation Burial by Snow
The biogeochemistry model in the article updates leaf and stem area indices (LAI and SAI) daily by linearly interpolating between monthly values. The monthly PFT (plant functional type) LAI values are derived from MODIS satellite data, and the SAI is calculated from the LAI using established methods.
The leaf and stem area indices are then adjusted to account for vertical burial by snow. This is done using the equation:
A = A* (1 - fveg^sno)
Where A* is the original LAI or SAI, A is the remaining exposed leaf or stem area, and fveg^sno is the vertical fraction of vegetation covered by snow.
The fraction of vegetation covered by snow (fveg^sno) is calculated differently for trees/shrubs versus grasses/crops. For trees and shrubs, it is the ratio of the snow depth minus the height of the bottom of the vegetation, divided by the height of the top of the vegetation minus the bottom. For grasses and crops, it is the minimum of the snow depth and the critical snow depth (0.2 m) divided by the critical snow depth.
If the exposed leaf and stem area is less than 0.05, it is set to zero, and the surface is treated as snow-covered ground.

Summary:
Soil Layers
The soil column can be divided into multiple layers for modeling purposes. The default configuration uses 25 layers, with the deepest 5 layers included only for thermodynamic calculations.
The key characteristics of the soil layer structure are:
1. Node depth (zi): The depth of each layer node
2. Layer thickness (Δzi): The thickness of each soil layer
3. Layer interface depth (zh,i): The depth at the interface between each soil layer
The table provided outlines the specific values for these parameters in the default soil layer structure, with layer depths ranging from 0.02 m for the top layer to 49.556 m for the bottom layer.
This layered soil representation allows for detailed modeling of soil processes, including hydrology and biogeochemistry, within the top 20 active layers, as well as thermodynamic calculations in the deeper layers.

### 2.2.3.1. Atmospheric Coupling[](#atmospheric-coupling "Permalink to this headline")
The current state of the atmosphere ([Table 2.2.4](#table-atmospheric-input-to-land-model)) at a given time step is used to force the land model. This atmospheric state is provided by an atmospheric model in coupled mode or from an observed dataset in land-only mode (Chapter [2.32](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Land-Only_Mode/CLM50_Tech_Note_Land-Only_Mode.html#rst-land-only-mode)). The land model then initiates a full set of calculations for surface energy, constituent, momentum, and radiative fluxes. The land model calculations are implemented in two steps. The land model proceeds with the calculation of surface energy, constituent, momentum, and radiative fluxes using the snow and soil hydrologic states from the previous time step. The land model then updates the soil and snow hydrology calculations based on these fluxes. These fields are passed to the atmosphere ([Table 2.2.5](#table-land-model-output-to-atmospheric-model)). The albedos sent to the atmosphere are for the solar zenith angle at the next time step but with surface conditions from the current time step.

1The atmospheric reference height received from the atmospheric model \\(z'\_{atm}\\) is assumed to be the height above the surface as defined by the roughness length \\(z\_{0}\\) plus displacement height \\(d\\). Thus, the reference height used for flux computations (Chapter [2.5](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Fluxes/CLM50_Tech_Note_Fluxes.html#rst-momentum-sensible-heat-and-latent-heat-fluxes)) is \\(z\_{atm} =z'\_{atm} +z\_{0} +d\\). The reference heights for temperature, wind, and specific humidity (\\(z\_{atm,\\, h}\\), \\(z\_{atm,\\, {\\it m}}\\), \\(z\_{atm,\\, w}\\) ) are required. These are set equal to\\(z\_{atm}\\).
2CAM provides convective and large-scale liquid and solid precipitation, which are added to yield total liquid precipitation \\(q\_{rain}\\) and solid precipitation \\(q\_{sno}\\). However, in CLM5, the atmospheres partitioning into liquid and solid precipitation is ignored. Instead, CLM repartitions total precipitation using a linear ramp. For most landunits, this ramp generates all snow below \\(0 ^{\\circ} C\\), all rain above \\(2 ^{\\circ} C\\), and a mix of rain and snow for intermediate temperatures. For glaciers, the end points of the ramp are \\(-2 ^{\\circ} C\\) and \\(0 ^{\\circ} C\\), respectively. Changes to the phase of precipitation are accompanied by a sensible heat flux (positive or negative) to conserve energy.
3There are 14 aerosol deposition rates required depending on species and affinity for bonding with water; 8 of these are dust deposition rates (dry and wet rates for 4 dust size bins, \\(D\_{dst,\\, dry1},\\, D\_{dst,\\, dry2},\\, D\_{dst,\\, dry3},\\, D\_{dst,\\, dry4}\\), \\(D\_{dst,\\, \\, wet1},D\_{dst,\\, wet2},\\, D\_{dst,wet3},\\, D\_{dst,\\, wet4}\\) ), 3 are black carbon deposition rates (dry and wet hydrophilic and dry hydrophobic rates, \\(D\_{bc,\\, dryhphil},\\, D\_{bc,\\, wethphil},\\, D\_{bc,\\, dryhphob}\\) ), and 3 are organic carbon deposition rates (dry and wet hydrophilic and dry hydrophobic rates, \\(D\_{oc,\\, dryhphil},\\, D\_{oc,\\, wethphil},\\, D\_{oc,\\, dryhphob}\\) ). These fluxes are computed interactively by the atmospheric model (when prognostic aerosol representation is active) or are prescribed from a time-varying (annual cycle or transient), globally-gridded deposition file defined in the namelist (see the CLM4.5 Users Guide). Aerosol deposition rates were calculated in a transient 1850-2009 CAM simulation (at a resolution of 1.9x2.5x26L) with interactive chemistry (troposphere and stratosphere) driven by CCSM3 20th century sea-surface temperatures and emissions ([Lamarque et al. 2010](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lamarqueetal2010)) for short-lived gases and aerosols; observed concentrations were specified for methane, N2O, the ozone-depleting substances (CFCs),and CO2. The fluxes are used by the snow-related parameterizations (Chapters [2.3](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Surface_Albedos/CLM50_Tech_Note_Surface_Albedos.html#rst-surface-albedos) and [2.8](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Snow_Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Snow_Hydrology.html#rst-snow-hydrology)).
4The nitrogen deposition rate is required by the biogeochemistry model when active and represents the total deposition of mineral nitrogen onto the land surface, combining deposition of NOy and NHx. The rate is supplied either as a time-invariant spatially-varying annual mean rate or time-varying for a transient simulation. Nitrogen deposition rates were calculated from the same CAM chemistry simulation that generated the aerosol deposition rates.
5Climatological 3-hourly lightning frequency at \\(\\sim\\)1.8° resolution is provided, which was calculated via bilinear interpolation from 1995-2011 NASA LIS/OTD grid product v2.2 ([http://ghrc.msfc.nasa.gov](http://ghrc.msfc.nasa.gov/)) 2-hourly, 2.5° lightning frequency data. In future versions of the model, lightning data may be obtained directly from the atmosphere model.
Density of air (\\(\\rho \_{atm}\\) ) (kg m\-3) is also required but is calculated directly from \\(\\rho \_{atm} =\\frac{P\_{atm} -0.378e\_{atm} }{R\_{da} T\_{atm} }\\) where \\(P\_{atm}\\) is atmospheric pressure (Pa), \\(e\_{atm}\\) is atmospheric vapor pressure (Pa), \\(R\_{da}\\) is the gas constant for dry air (J kg\-1 K\-1) ([Table 2.2.7](#table-physical-constants)), and \\(T\_{atm}\\) is the atmospheric temperature (K).

The O2 partial pressure (Pa) is required but is calculated from molar ratio and the atmospheric pressure \\(P\_{atm}\\) as \\(o\_{i} =0.209P\_{atm}\\).

Summary of the Article:
### Atmospheric Coupling
The land model uses the current state of the atmosphere to force its calculations. This atmospheric state is provided by an atmospheric model in coupled mode or from an observed dataset in land-only mode.
The land model calculates surface energy, constituent, momentum, and radiative fluxes using the previous time step's snow and soil hydrologic states. It then updates the soil and snow hydrology based on these fluxes and passes the updated fields back to the atmosphere.
### Atmospheric Input to Land Model
The land model receives various atmospheric inputs, including wind, temperature, humidity, precipitation, radiation, and other parameters, as detailed in Table 2.2.4.
### Land Model Output to Atmospheric Model
The land model outputs several key fields to the atmospheric model, such as energy fluxes, momentum fluxes, albedos, and other relevant variables, as described in Table 2.2.5.
The summary covers the main points of the article, including the atmospheric coupling process, the inputs received by the land model from the atmosphere, and the outputs from the land model to the atmospheric model. The key details are concisely presented, following the guidelines provided in the prompt.

### 2.2.3.2. Initialization[](#initialization "Permalink to this headline")
Initialization of the land model (i.e., providing the model with initial temperature and moisture states) depends on the type of run (startup or restart) (see the CLM4.5 Users Guide). A startup run starts the model from either initial conditions that are set internally in the Fortran code (referred to as arbitrary initial conditions) or from an initial conditions dataset that enables the model to start from a spun up state (i.e., where the land is in equilibrium with the simulated climate). In restart runs, the model is continued from a previous simulation and initialized from a restart file that ensures that the output is bit-for-bit the same as if the previous simulation had not stopped. The fields that are required from the restart or initial conditions files can be obtained by examining the code. Arbitrary initial conditions are specified as follows.
Soil points are initialized with surface ground temperature \\(T\_{g}\\) and soil layer temperature \\(T\_{i}\\), for \\(i=1,\\ldots,N\_{levgrnd}\\), of 274 K, vegetation temperature \\(T\_{v}\\) of 283 K, no snow or canopy water (\\(W\_{sno} =0\\), \\(W\_{can} =0\\)), and volumetric soil water content \\(\\theta \_{i} =0.15\\) mm3 mm\-3 for layers \\(i=1,\\ldots,N\_{levsoi}\\) and \\(\\theta \_{i} =0.0\\) mm3 mm\-3 for layers \\(i=N\_{levsoi} +1,\\ldots,N\_{levgrnd}\\). placeLake temperatures (\\(T\_{g}\\) and \\(T\_{i}\\) ) are initialized at 277 K and \\(W\_{sno} =0\\).
Glacier temperatures (\\(T\_{g} =T\_{snl+1}\\) and \\(T\_{i}\\) for \\(i=snl+1,\\ldots,N\_{levgrnd}\\) where \\(snl\\) is the negative of the number of snow layers, i.e., \\(snl\\) ranges from 5 to 0) are initialized to 250 K with a snow water equivalent \\(W\_{sno} =1000\\) mm, snow depth \\(z\_{sno} =\\frac{W\_{sno} }{\\rho \_{sno} }\\) (m) where \\(\\rho \_{sno} =250\\) kg m\-3 is an initial estimate for the bulk density of snow, and \\(\\theta \_{i}\\) =1.0 for \\(i=1,\\ldots,N\_{levgrnd}\\). The snow layer structure (e.g., number of snow layers \\(snl\\) and layer thickness) is initialized based on the snow depth (section 6.1). The snow liquid water and ice contents (kg m\-2) are initialized as \\(w\_{liq,\\, i} =0\\) and \\(w\_{ice,\\, i} =\\Delta z\_{i} \\rho \_{sno}\\), respectively, where \\(i=snl+1,\\ldots,0\\) are the snow layers, and \\(\\Delta z\_{i}\\) is the thickness of snow layer \\(i\\) (m). The soil liquid water and ice contents are initialized as \\(w\_{liq,\\, i} =0\\) and \\(w\_{ice,\\, i} =\\Delta z\_{i} \\rho \_{ice} \\theta \_{i}\\) for \\(T\_{i} \\le T\_{f}\\), and \\(w\_{liq,\\, i} =\\Delta z\_{i} \\rho \_{liq} \\theta \_{i}\\) and \\(w\_{ice,\\, i} =0\\) for \\(T\_{i} >T\_{f}\\), where \\(\\rho \_{ice}\\) and \\(\\rho \_{liq}\\) are the densities of ice and liquid water (kg m\-3) ([Table 2.2.7](#table-physical-constants)), and \\(T\_{f}\\) is the freezing temperature of water (K) ([Table 2.2.7](#table-physical-constants)). All vegetated and glacier land units are initialized with water stored in the unconfined aquifer and unsaturated soil \\(W\_{a} =4000\\) mm and water table depth \\(z\_{\\nabla }\\) at five meters below the soil column.

Summary:
### Initialization of Land Model
The initialization of the land model in the Community Land Model (CLM) depends on the type of run - startup or restart. In a startup run, the model can be initialized using:
1. Arbitrary initial conditions set internally in the Fortran code.
2. An initial conditions dataset that enables the model to start from a spun-up state.
In a restart run, the model is continued from a previous simulation and initialized from a restart file.
#### Arbitrary Initial Conditions
The arbitrary initial conditions are specified as follows:
- Soil points are initialized with surface ground temperature (274 K), soil layer temperature (274 K), vegetation temperature (283 K), no snow or canopy water, and volumetric soil water content (0.15 mm³/mm³ for top layers, 0.0 mm³/mm³ for lower layers).
- Lake temperatures are initialized at 277 K with no snow.
- Glacier temperatures are initialized at 250 K with a snow water equivalent of 1000 mm and a snow depth calculated from the snow density (250 kg/m³). The snow layer structure is initialized based on the snow depth.
- The snow and soil liquid water and ice contents are initialized based on the temperature and soil moisture conditions.
- All vegetated and glacier land units are initialized with water stored in the unconfined aquifer (4000 mm) and a water table depth of 5 meters below the soil column.

### 2.2.3.3. Surface Data[](#surface-data "Permalink to this headline")
Required surface data for each land grid cell are listed in [Table 2.2.6](#table-surface-data-required-for-clm-and-their-base-spatial-resolution) and include the glacier, lake, and urban fractions of the grid cell (vegetated and crop occupy the remainder), the fractional cover of each plant functional type (PFT), monthly leaf and stem area index and canopy top and bottom heights for each PFT, soil color, soil texture, soil organic matter density, maximum fractional saturated area, slope, elevation, biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emissions factors, population density, gross domestic production, peat area fraction, and peak month of agricultural burning. Optional surface data include crop irrigation and managed crops. All fields are aggregated to the models grid from high-resolution input datasets ( [Table 2.2.6](#table-surface-data-required-for-clm-and-their-base-spatial-resolution)) that are obtained from a variety of sources described below.

At the base spatial resolution of 0.05°, the percentage of each PFT is defined with respect to the vegetated portion of the grid cell and the sum of the PFTs is 100%. The percent lake, glacier, and urban at their base resolution are specified with respect to the entire grid cell. The surface dataset creation routines re-adjust the PFT percentages to ensure that the sum of all land cover types in the grid cell sum to 100%. A minimum threshold of 0.1% of the grid cell by area is required for urban areas.
The percentage glacier mask was derived from vector data of global glacier and ice sheet spatial coverage. Vector data for glaciers (ice caps, icefields and mountain glaciers) were taken from the first globally complete glacier inventory, the Randolph Glacier Inventory version 1.0 (RGIv1.0: [Arendt et al. 2012](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#arendtetal2012)). Vector data for the Greenland Ice Sheet were provided by Frank Paul and Tobias Bolch (University of Zurich: [Rastner et al. 2012](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#rastneretal2012)). Antarctic Ice Sheet data were provided by Andrew Bliss (University of Alaska) and were extracted from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Antarctic Digital Database version 5.0. Floating ice is only provided for the Antarctic and does not include the small area of Arctic ice shelves. High spatial resolution vector data were then processed to determine the area of glacier, ice sheet and floating ice within 30-second grid cells globally. The 30-second glacier, ice sheet and Antarctic ice shelf masks were subsequently draped over equivalent-resolution GLOBE topography (Global Land One-km Base Elevation Project, Hastings et al. 1999) to extract approximate ice-covered elevations of ice-covered regions. Grid cells flagged as land-ice in the mask but ocean in GLOBE (typically, around ice sheets at high latitudes) were designated land-ice with an elevation of 0 meters. Finally, the high-resolution mask/topography datasets were aggregated and processed into three 3-minute datasets: 3-minute fractional areal land ice coverage (including both glaciers and ice sheets); 3-minute distributions of areal glacier fractional coverage by elevation and areal ice sheet fractional coverage by elevation. Ice fractions were binned at 100 meter intervals, with bin edges defined from 0 to 6000 meters (plus one top bin encompassing all remaining high-elevation ice, primarily in the Himalaya). These distributions by elevation are used to divide each glacier land unit into columns based on elevation class.
When running with the CISM ice sheet model, CISM dictates glacier areas and elevations in its domain, overriding the values specified by CLMs datasets. In typical CLM5 configurations, this means that CISM dictates glacier areas and elevations over Greenland.
Percent lake and lake depth are area-averaged from the 90-second resolution data of [Kourzeneva (2009, 2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kourzeneva2009) to the 0.05° resolution using the MODIS land-mask. Percent urban is derived from LandScan 2004, a population density dataset derived from census data, nighttime lights satellite observations, road proximity and slope ([Dobson et al. 2000](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#dobsonetal2000)) as described by [Jackson et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#jacksonetal2010) at 1km resolution and aggregated to 0.05°. A number of urban radiative, thermal, and morphological fields are also required and are obtained from [Jackson et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#jacksonetal2010). Their description can be found in Table 3 of the Community Land Model Urban (CLMU) technical note ([Oleson et al. 2010b](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#olesonetal2010b)).
Percent PFTs are derived from MODIS satellite data as described in [Lawrence and Chase (2007)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrencechase2007) (section 21.3.3). Prescribed PFT leaf area index is derived from the MODIS satellite data of [Myneni et al. (2002)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#mynenietal2002) using the de-aggregation methods described in [Lawrence and Chase (2007)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrencechase2007) (section 2.2.3). Prescribed PFT stem area index is derived from PFT leaf area index phenology combined with the methods of [Zeng et al. (2002)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#zengetal2002). Prescribed canopy top and bottom heights are from [Bonan (1996)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#bonan1996) as described in [Bonan et al. (2002b)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#bonanetal2002b). If the biogeochemistry model is active, it supplies the leaf and stem area index and canopy top and bottom heights dynamically, and the prescribed values are ignored.
Soil color determines dry and saturated soil albedo (section [2.3.2](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Surface_Albedos/CLM50_Tech_Note_Surface_Albedos.html#ground-albedos)). Soil colors are from [Lawrence and Chase (2007)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrencechase2007).
The soil texture and organic matter content determine soil thermal and hydrologic properties (sections 6.3 and 7.4.1). The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) soil dataset (Global Soil Data Task 2000) of 4931 soil mapping units and their sand and clay content for each soil layer were used to create a mineral soil texture dataset [(Bonan et al. 2002b)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#bonanetal2002b). Soil organic matter data is merged from two sources. The majority of the globe is from ISRIC-WISE ([Batjes, 2006](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#batjes2006)). The high latitudes come from the 0.25° version of the Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database ([Hugelius et al. 2012](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#hugeliusetal2012)). Both datasets report carbon down to 1m depth. Carbon is partitioned across the top seven CLM4 layers (\\(\\sim\\)1m depth) as in [Lawrence and Slater (2008)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrenceslater2008).
The maximum fractional saturated area (\\(f\_{\\max }\\) ) is used in determining surface runoff and infiltration (section 7.3). Maximum fractional saturated area at 0.125° resolution is calculated from 1-km compound topographic indices (CTIs) based on the USGS HYDRO1K dataset ([Verdin and Greenlee 1996](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#verdingreenlee1996)) following the algorithm in [Niu et al. (2005)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#niuetal2005). \\(f\_{\\max }\\) is the ratio between the number of 1-km pixels with CTIs equal to or larger than the mean CTI and the total number of pixels in a 0.125° grid cell. See section 7.3.1 and [Li et al. (2013b)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lietal2013b) for further details. Slope and elevation are also obtained from the USGS HYDRO1K 1-km dataset ([Verdin and Greenlee 1996](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#verdingreenlee1996)). Slope is used in the surface water parameterization (section [2.7.2.2](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Hydrology.html#surface-water-storage)), and elevation is used to calculate the grid cell standard deviation of topography for the snow cover fraction parameterization (section [2.8.1](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Snow_Hydrology/CLM50_Tech_Note_Snow_Hydrology.html#snow-covered-area-fraction)).
Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds emissions factors are from the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature version 2.1 (MEGAN2.1; [Guenther et al. 2012](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#guentheretal2012)).
The default list of PFTs includes an unmanaged crop treated as a second C3 grass ([Table 2.2.1](#table-plant-functional-types)). The unmanaged crop has grid cell fractional cover assigned from MODIS satellite data ([Lawrence and Chase (2007)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lawrencechase2007)). A managed crop option uses grid cell fractional cover from the present-day crop dataset of [Ramankutty and Foley (1998)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#ramankuttyfoley1998) (CLM4CNcrop). Managed crops are assigned in the proportions given by [Ramankutty and Foley (1998)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#ramankuttyfoley1998) without exceeding the area previously assigned to the unmanaged crop. The unmanaged crop continues to occupy any of its original area that remains and continues to be handled just by the CN part of CLM4CNcrop. The managed crop types (corn, soybean, and temperate cereals) were chosen based on the availability of corresponding algorithms in AgroIBIS ([Kucharik et al. 2000](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kuchariketal2000); [Kucharik and Brye 2003](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kucharikbrye2003)). Temperate cereals include wheat, barley, and rye here. All temperate cereals are treated as summer crops (like spring wheat, for example) at this time. Winter cereals (such as winter wheat) may be introduced in a future version of the model.
To allow crops to coexist with natural vegetation in a grid cell and be treated by separate models (i.e., CLM4.5BGCcrop versus the Dynamic Vegetation version (CLM4.5BGCDV)), we separate the vegetated land unit into a naturally vegetated land unit and a human managed land unit. PFTs in the naturally vegetated land unit share one soil column and compete for water (default CLM setting). PFTs in the human managed land unit do not share soil columns and thus permit for differences in land management between crops.
CLM includes the option to irrigate cropland areas that are equipped for irrigation. The application of irrigation responds dynamically to climate (see Chapter [2.26](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/Crop_Irrigation/CLM50_Tech_Note_Crop_Irrigation.html#rst-crops-and-irrigation)). In CLM, irrigation is implemented for the C3 generic crop only. When irrigation is enabled, the cropland area of each grid cell is divided into an irrigated and unirrigated fraction according to a dataset of areas equipped for irrigation ([Siebert et al. (2005)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#siebertetal2005)). The area of irrigated cropland in each grid cell is given by the smaller of the grid cells total cropland area, according to the default CLM4 dataset, and the grid cells area equipped for irrigation. The remainder of the grid cells cropland area (if any) is then assigned to unirrigated cropland. Irrigated and unirrigated crops are placed on separate soil columns, so that irrigation is only applied to the soil beneath irrigated crops.
Several input datasets are required for the fire model ([Li et al. 2013a](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lietal2013a)) including population density, gross domestic production, peat area fraction, and peak month of agricultural waste burning. Population density at 0.5° resolution for 1850-2100 combines 5-min resolution decadal population density data for 18501980 from the Database of the Global Environment version 3.1 (HYDEv3.1) with 0.5° resolution population density data for 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005 from the Gridded Population of the World version 3 dataset (GPWv3) (CIESIN, 2005). Gross Domestic Production (GDP) per capita in 2000 at 0.5° is from [Van Vuuren et al. (2006)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#vanvuurenetal2006), which is the base-year GDP data for IPCC-SRES and derived from country-level World Banks World Development Indicators (WDI) measured in constant 1995 US$ ([World Bank, 2004](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#worldbank2004)) and the UN Statistics Database ([UNSTAT, 2005](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#unstat2005)). The peatland area fraction at 0.5° resolution is derived from three vector datasets: peatland data in Indonesia and Malaysian Borneo ([Olson et al. 2001](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#olsonetal2001)); peatland data in Canada ([Tarnocai et al. 2011](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#tarnocaietal2011)); and bog, fen and mire data in boreal regions (north of 45°N) outside Canada provided by the Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD) ([Lehner and Döll, 2004](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#lehnerdoll2004)). The climatological peak month for agricultural waste burning is from [van der Werf et al. (2010)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#vanderwerfetal2010).

Summary:
Adjustable Parameters and Physical Constants
The article discusses the adjustable parameters and physical constants used in the biogeophysical and biogeochemical parameterizations of the coupled modeling system.
Adjustable Parameters:
- Values of certain adjustable parameters have been obtained from the literature or calibrated based on comparisons with observations.
- These adjustable parameters are described in the text.
Physical Constants:
- Physical constants are generally shared by all components in the coupled modeling system.
- These constants are presented in Table 2.2.7, which includes values for various physical quantities such as Pi, acceleration of gravity, Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and others.
- The table also includes descriptions, names, values, and units for each physical constant.
The article highlights that some of the physical constants, such as thermal conductivity of water, ice, and air, are not shared by other components of the coupled modeling system.

Here is a summary of the article "2.2. Surface Characterization, Vertical Discretization, and Model Input Requirements" from the CTSM master documentation:
Surface Characterization and Vertical Discretization
- The Community Terrestrial Systems Model (CTSM) requires detailed information about the surface characteristics and vertical layering of the land surface.
- Surface characteristics include vegetation type, soil properties, and topography, which are used to model processes like radiation, hydrology, and biogeochemistry.
- The vertical discretization defines the number and thickness of soil layers, which impacts how water, energy, and carbon are transported through the soil profile.
Model Input Requirements
- CTSM requires several input datasets to specify the surface characteristics and vertical discretization, including:
- Land cover/plant functional type distribution
- Soil properties (texture, color, organic matter, etc.)
- Elevation, slope, aspect
- Number and thickness of soil layers
- These input datasets are usually provided at a spatial resolution matching the model grid, and may require preprocessing and aggregation.
- Careful specification of these inputs is critical for accurate representation of land surface processes in the CTSM model.

## 2.22.1. Summary of CLM5.0 updates relative to CLM4.5[](#summary-of-clm5-0-updates-relative-to-clm4-5 "Permalink to this headline")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We describe external inputs to the nitrogen cycle in CLM5.0.  Much of the following information appeared in the CLM4.5 Technical Note ([Oleson et al. 2013](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#olesonetal2013)) as well as [Koven et al. (2013)](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/References/CLM50_Tech_Note_References.html#kovenetal2013).
CLM5.0 includes the following changes to terrestrial nitrogen inputs:
* Time varrying deposition of reactive nitrogen. In off-line runs this changes monthly. In coupled simulations N deposition is passed at the coupling timestep (e.g., half-hourly).
* Asymbiotic (or free living) N fixation is a function of evapotranspiration and is added to the inorganic nitrogen (NH4+) pool (described below).
* Symbiotic N fixation is handled by the FUN model (chapter [2.18](https://escomp.github.io/ctsm-docs/versions/master/html/tech_note/FUN/CLM50_Tech_Note_FUN.html#rst-fun)) and is passed straight to the plant, not the mineral nitrogen pool.

Summary of CLM5.0 Updates Relative to CLM4.5:
1. Time-Varying Nitrogen Deposition:
- In offline runs, nitrogen deposition changes monthly.
- In coupled simulations, nitrogen deposition is passed at the coupling timestep (e.g., half-hourly).
2. Asymbiotic Nitrogen Fixation:
- Asymbiotic (or free-living) nitrogen fixation is a function of evapotranspiration.
- The fixed nitrogen is added to the inorganic nitrogen (NH4+) pool.
3. Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation:
- Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is handled by the FUN model (chapter 2.18).
- The fixed nitrogen is passed directly to the plant, not the mineral nitrogen pool.
The article summarizes the key updates to the terrestrial nitrogen inputs in the CLM5.0 model, including changes to nitrogen deposition, asymbiotic nitrogen fixation, and symbiotic nitrogen fixation, compared to the previous version, CLM4.5.
