Introduction

This document presents medfate (ver. 4.8.0) model evaluation results at stand-level, using data from a set of 20 experimental forest plots. The main source of observed data are SAPFLUXNET database (Poyatos et al. 2021) and FLUXNET 2015 dataset (Pastorello et al. 2020).

List of sites

The table below lists the experimental forest plots used in the report and the data sources available.

Parametrization and simulations

Forest water balance simulations (i.e. function spwb()) have been conducted using the three transpiration modes (i.e. Granier, Sperry or Sureau).

The set of control parameters modified from defaults in simulations are the following:

transpirationMode soilDomains stemCavitationRecovery leafCavitationRecovery segmentedXylemVulnerability subdailyResults
Granier dual rate total NA NA
Sperry dual rate total TRUE FALSE
Sureau dual rate rate FALSE FALSE

Soil characteristics have been tuned to modulate total available water and fit observed saturation and residual moisture values, but calibration exercises have not been conducted. When available, however, local leaf area to sapwood area ratios have been used. Thus, the evaluation exercise is meant to be more or less representative of simulations with default species-level trait data.

Evaluation variables

The table below lists the set of predicted variables that are evaluated and the data sources used:

Variable Level Observation source Units
Sensible heat turbulent flux Stand FLUXNET / ICOS MJ/m2
Latent heat turbulent flux Stand FLUXNET / ICOS MJ/m2
Gross primary productivity Stand FLUXNET / ICOS gC/m2
Soil moisture content (topsoil) Stand SAPFLUXNET / FLUXNET / ICOS % vol.
Transpiration per leaf area Plant SAPFLUXNET l/m2
Predawn/midday leaf water potential Plant SAPFLUXNET (addition) MPa

Structure of site reports

The following contains as many sections as forest stands included in the evaluation. The following sub-sections are reported for each stand:

  1. General information: General information about the site, topography, soil and climate, as well as data sources used.
  2. Model inputs: Description of model inputs (vegetation, soil, custom species parameters and parameterization remarks).
  3. Climate: Graphical description of climate inputs and predicted soil/canopy temperatures (under Sperry).
  4. Evaluation results: Evaluation results are presented for variables with available measurements.
