Here is a concise summary of the key points from the provided article: Biogeophysical and Biogeochemical Processes in CLM The Community Land Model (CLM) simulates a comprehensive set of biogeophysical and biogeochemical processes for each subgrid land unit, column, and plant functional type. These processes include: 1. Surface characterization and heterogeneity 2. Solar radiation absorption, reflection, and transmittance 3. Longwave radiation absorption and emission 4. Momentum, sensible heat, and latent heat fluxes 5. Soil and snow heat transfer and phase change 6. Canopy and soil hydrology 7. Snow hydrology 8. Photosynthesis and plant hydraulics 9. Lake, glacier, and river processes 10. Urban energy balance 11. Vegetation carbon/nitrogen allocation and phenology 12. Plant respiration and litter/soil decomposition 13. Nitrogen cycling and plant mortality 14. Fire modeling and methane cycling 15. Crop dynamics, irrigation, and land use change 16. Biogenic volatile organic compound emissions and dust modeling 17. Carbon isotope fractionation These processes are simulated independently for each subgrid unit, with the grid cell surface variables and fluxes obtained by averaging the subgrid quantities. This comprehensive modeling approach captures the key biogeophysical and biogeochemical interactions in the land system.
