Possible next steps for ClimaLand

[AlexisRenchon]

Please edit this list (add bullet points, modify existing ones, change priority order)

• Model soil macro-pores
• Prognostic biomass (stem, leaves, roots) and soil carbon
• Soil nutrients (N, P, K)
• Soil mycorrhizae
• Dynamic vegetation (plant community - PFT, traits… in time)
• Disturbances (fire, insects…) - stochastic occurrence f(condition), process after ignition...
• Dieback and mortality (hydraulic failure, C starvation)
• Agricultural fields
• Lakes, wetlands, rivers (biogeochemistry)
• Lateral carbon transport (in progress)
• Solar induced fluorescence (in progress)
• Multi-layer canopy (PDE)
• Heat transfer from river to ocean, especially arctic
• Water interception by canopy
• Plant acclimation (at multiple time scales, but particularly long time scale)
• Dynamic GPP/NPP ratio? (Jim Randerson talk, EucFACE, does co2 fertilisation increase both GPP and ER, leading to unchanged NPP? -or not as much as current models predict)
• Different approach for canopy parameterisation (PFT vs. traits = f(environment) vs. other)
