A Simple Crop Phenology Algorithm in the Land Surface Model CN‐CLASS

Land surface models are useful tools for estimating the contribution and response to climate change of C dynamics in various terrestrial ecosystems. In many land surface models, plant phenological algorithms are incorporated based on field studies in forests. However, to simulate adequately the C cycle over a large area, there is a need to include and validate algorithms for other ecosystems. The Carbon and Nitrogen‐coupled Canadian Land …
