Land‐use changes through forestry and other activities alter not just carbon storage, but
biophysical properties, including albedo, surface roughness, and canopy conductance, all of …

A highly modular and scale-consistent Terrestrial Systems Modeling Platform (TerrSysMP) is
presented. The modeling platform consists of an atmospheric model (Consortium for Small …

Around 70 Mha of land cover changes (LCCs) occurred in Europe from 1992 to 2015.
Despite LCCs being an important driver of regional climate variations, their temperature …

Understanding the regional climate response to land cover change requires a realistic sub‐
grid representation of vegetation cover in the land surface scheme (LSS) of climate models …

In this study, we coupled Version 4.0 of the Community Land Model that includes crop
growth and management (CLM4crop) into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) …

Land use and land cover change (LULCC) impacts local and regional climates through
various biogeophysical processes. Accurate representation of land surface parameters in …

Abstract The Weather Research Forecasting model is applied for convection‐permitting
regional climate simulations over the western United States using three different land …

Recent studies using global climate models have suggested that irrigation, assuming
unlimited water supply and that all crops can be irrigated, may be an option for regional …

This paper uses hourly observations from 1953 to 2011 of temperature, relative humidity,
and opaque cloud cover from 14 climate stations across the Canadian Prairies to analyze …

The concept of plant functional types (PFTs) is shown to be beneficial in representing the
complexity of plant characteristics in land use and climate change studies using regional …
