Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Models with plant hydraulics predict a slower onset of plant water stress as drought develops.
- Method / resource Models with plant hydraulics produce diurnal water and carbon flux variability closer to observations.
- Method / resource Including plant water capacitance improves modeled diurnal water and carbon flux dynamics.
- Method / resource Plant hydraulic modules alone do not significantly improve overall model performance under observed climate variability.
- Method / resource Plant hydraulic modules reproduce more realistic water and carbon dynamics.
