Manuscript prepared for Geosci. Model Dev. with version 2015/04/24 7.83 Copernicus papers of the LATEX class copernicus.cls. Date: 21 June 2017 Supplement of LPJmL4 - a dynamic global vegetation model with managed land: Part II – Model evaluation S. Schaphoff et al. Correspondence to: [email protected] 1 Supplementary informations to the evaluation of the LPJmL4 model The here provided supplementary informations give more details to the evaluations given in Schaphoff et al.(submitted). All sources and data used are described in detail there. Here we present additional figures for evaluating the LPJmL4 model on a plot scale for water and carbon fluxes Fig.1- 16. We 5 use gauging station to evaluate the river discharge as an integrated measure (Fig. 17- 64). Fig. 65 and Fig. 66a give a comparison with the global estimation of Carvalhais et al.(2014) for soil organic car- bon resp. biomass. Additionally we have compared aboveground biomass in Fig. 66b with estimates by Liu et al.(2015). A spatial comparsion of ecosystem respiration is shown in Fig. 67. Sowing dates have been proved to be important to simulate crop variability (Fig. 72- 80), a com- 10 parison with MIRCA sowing dates we show in Fig. 81- 90. Table1 gives an overview of estimates for regional field application efficiencies, showing that LPJmL4 are in a similar range as other estimates. 1 Kaamanen_wetland 69.14 N / 27.3 E NEE 100 r2 = 0.092, W = 0.67 50 LPJmL4 fluxes 0 Euroflux and Ameriflux Data gC/m2/month −100 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 AK−Ivotuk 68.49 N / 155.75 W Sodankyla 67.36 N / 26.64 E 60 r2 = 0.00083, W = 0.65 r2 = 0.51, W = 0.87 100 50 20 0 −20 gC/m2/month gC/m2/month −100 −60 2004 2005 2006 2007 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Flakaliden 64.11 N / 19.46 E Hyytiala 61.85 N / 24.29 E 2 = = 100 2 = = 100 r 0.27, W 0.84 r 0.59, W 0.94 50 50 0 0 −50 gC/m2/month gC/m2/month −100 −150 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 1998 2000 2002 2004 Norunda 60.09 N / 17.48 E Griffin−Aberfeldy−Scotland 56.61 N / 3.8 W r2 = 0.15, W = 0.73 r2 = 0.34, W = 0.67 50 50 −50 −50 gC/m2/month gC/m2/month −150 −150 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 −250 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 UCI−1930_burn_site 55.91 N / 98.52 W UCI−1964_burn_site 55.91 N / 98.38 W r2 = 0.061, W = 0.66 r2 = 0.16, W = 0.79 100 50 50 0 0 gC/m2/month gC/m2/month −50 −100 −100 2002 2003 2004 2005 2002 2003 2004 2005 East_Saltoun 55.91 N / 2.86 W UCI−1981_burn_site 55.86 N / 98.48 W r2 = 0.36, W = 0.91 r2 = 0.14, W = 0.77 50 50 0 0 gC/m2/month gC/m2/month −100 −50 −100 −200 2004 2005 2006 2002 2003 2004 2005 Figure 1.
