To incorporate canopy vertical structure in a process-based model over a temperate meadow, a multilayered model estimated canopy carbon flux ( F c ) and water flux ( LE ) was applied by comparing with eddy covariance measurements in Inner Mongolia, China. Simulations of diurnal, seasonal CO 2 and H 2 O fluxes and model sensitivity to parameters and variables were analyzed. The results showed that the model underestimated F c a...
