As the research on biogeochemical processes in the land-atmosphere interactions, our collaborators at Lehigh University and Eungul Lee modified the incomplete linkages between carbon, nitrogen, and water to examine how nitrogen limitation affects hydrological processes in the NCAR CLM4-CN model. We found that nitrogen limitation on the leaf-level significantly affects hydrological processes in the CLM4-CN and improves the simulation of carbon and water fluxes [Lee et al., 2013 J. Adv. Model. Earth Syst.].
