Simulation Descriptions
  • CN1: control clm3_6_45, years 2500-3000; years 0-2500 spinup
  • CN2: use CN soil carbon for organic matter soil properties
  • CN3: assume 25% all cells are saturated; heterotrophic respiration is 25% of maximum for this portion of cell
  • CN4: CN2 + CN3
  • CLM Simulations
