Table 1.

Carbon allocation parameters in two carbon allocation schemes in CABLE.

Vegetation types Fixed coefficient (FIX) model Resource limitation (RES) model
Leaf (aleafFIX) Wood (awoodFIX) Root (arootFIX) Leaf (aleafRES) Wood (awoodRES) Root (arootRES)
1: Maximal leaf growth
Woody biomes 0.80 0.10 0.10 0.80 0.10 0.10
Non-woody biomes 0.80 0.20 0.80 0.20
2: Steady growth phase
ENF 0.25 0.40 0.35 Dynamic allocation coefficients regulated by the available light, water, and nitrogen (see Data and Methods).
EBF 0.20 0.35 0.45
DNF 0.40 0.30 0.30
DBF 0.35 0.25 0.40
SHB 0.35 0.25 0.40
C3 0.35 0.65
C4 0.35 0.65
TDR 0.50 0.10 0.40
CROP 0.50 0.50
3: Leaf senescence phase
Woody biomes 0 awoodFIX_p2/(awoodFIX_p2 + arootFIX_p2) arootFIX_p2/(awoodFIX_p2 + arootFIX_p2) 0 awoodRES_p2/(awoodRES_p2 + arootRES_p2) arootRES_p2/(awoodRES_p2 + arootRES_p2)
Non-woody biomes 0 1.0 0 1.0

ENF: evergreen needleleaf forest; EBF: evergreen broadleaf forest; DNF: deciduous needleleaf forest; DBF: deciduous broadleaf forest; SHB: shrub; C3: C3 grass; C4: C4 grass; TDR: tundra; CROP: C3 crop. ENF, EBF, DNF, DBF, SHB, and TDR are woody biomes. C3, C4, and CROP are non-woody biomes. awoodFIX_p2 and arootFIX_p2 denote the fixed carbon allocation ratios to wood tissues and roots in the steady growth phase (phase 2). awoodRES_p2 and arootRES_p2 denote the resource limitation carbon allocation ratios to wood tissues and roots in the steady growth phase (phase 2).
