How Does Integrating Plant Hydraulics Improve Noah-MP Land Surface Model
Published in 106th AMS Annual Meeting, 2026
Poster presented at the 106th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting (January 11-15, 2026, Houston, TX), evaluating how a plant hydraulics scheme changes land surface model behavior in the Noah-MP model.
Research Focus
- Evaluates Noah-MP-PHS (Noah-MP with a plant hydraulics scheme) against the default empirical soil hydraulics representation
- Examines water and carbon flux responses under dry soil conditions, where plant water stress regulation matters most
- Tests whether the added mechanistic detail improves simulations over traditional schemes
