Hello everyone. In the CLM Technical Note (section 2.27.2 Reconciling Changes in Area), I read the following description:
"In the first time step of January 1, changes in land unit weights can potentially come from two sources: Changes in the area of the crop land unit come from the landuse.timeseries dataset, and changes in the area of the glacier land unit come from the ice sheet model. The areas of other land units are then adjusted so that the total land unit area remains 100%."
My question is: why does the change in land-unit weights not include changes in the vegetated land unit? For example, if the landuse.timeseries file shows an increase in the vegetated land unit and a decrease in the wetland land unit, while crop area remains unchanged, will CLM recognize this type of land-unit change?
Thanks in advance!
