About the PFT data

Hi, I am now running CLM3.0 and reading papers about the PFT data.

I wondder if the PFT data I download from the website has include the information of the vegetation fraction cover in 1 km pixel? Or if it take 1km pixel as one PFT with the fraction of 1?

Thank you.

The pft data that you downloaded for clm3.0 is described in detail in

Bonan et al., 2002: Landscapes as patches of plant functional types: An integrating concept for climate and ecosystem models. Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 16, doi:10.1029/2000GB001360
