Description
Global land surface models (LSMs) describe vegetation growth in detail, simulating photosynthesis and plant hydraulics. The crop modules, however, in which growth stages and annual yields are simulated, are one of the most recent additions to LSMs. And because of their complexity, they often lack critical components, such as the effect of different stresses under various growth stages. There is thus a need for more accurate representation of crops in LSMs. As heatwaves are already becoming more frequent, we present some model implementations to target heat stress effects on crop production and evaluate them for the some major crops in the Community Land Model (CLM5).
