Introduction

This document presents medfate (ver. 4.4.0) model evaluation results at stand-level, using data from a set of 21 experimental forest plots. The main source of observed data are SAPFLUXNET database (Poyatos et al. 2021) and FLUXNET 2015 dataset (Pastorello et al. 2020).

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.
