I'm happy to accept the manuscript on the basis of your revisions, which seem adequately responsive to the reviewers comments and concerns. In looking over the manuscript again myself, I saw two minor issues that would be good to address:

(1) The color bar used in figure 8 is problematic in that the green color right above zero is hardly distinguishable from the blue/green below zero, at least to my eye. This makes it hard to distinguish small positive from small negative changes, especially because so little of the diagram falls in the zero-change (white) range.

(2) The referencing of other land models (e.g. ORCHIDEE, etc.) seems inadequate, in that they are all covered under a single reference to McGuire et al (2012). I suggest providing references that point to each model group somewhere in the paper, e.g. perhaps Table 1.

Please do your best to address these points. Overall, nice work.
