Simulating the Energy and Water Fluxes from Two Alkaline Desert Ecosystems over Central Asia

Table 2

The parameterizations of the reference model (S0) and the model with refined roughness length (S1) in CLM at KZ-Ara site and KZ-Bal site. RWUF is an optimal root water uptake function for dryland ecosystem (Jing et al. 2014 [21]), and ,  , and are empirical constants in RWUF.

Site	Simulation	Land cover type	Vegetation fraction	RWUF	Roughness length for bare soil

KZ-Ara	S0	Mixed shrub and grassland	30%	()
	S1	S0	S0	S0
KZ-Bal	S0	(1) Irrigated cropland and pasture (35%); (2) Herbaceous wetland (44%); (3) Shrub (21%)	40%	()
