The interaction between climate and vegetation along four Pole-Equator-Pole (PEP) belts were explored using a global two-way coupled model, AVIM-GOALS, which links the ecophysiological processes at the land surface ...
This work was supported by the Special Project of the China Meteorological Administration for Climate Change(Grant No.CCSF2005-1);various projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China(Grant No.40205013 and 40005005).Thanks are given to Mr.Haibin Li for providing the in situ observations of soil moisture in China and for discussing them with us.
The spatial distribution of soil moisture, especially the temporal variation at seasonal and interannual scales, is difficult for many land surface models (LSMs) to capture partly due to the deficiencies of the LSMs...
