Short summary
We compared monthly leaf area index (LAI) estimates from the Community Land Model (CLM) in stress/drought deciduous regions of the world to a satellite-derived estimate of LAI. This comparison revealed an issue in the CLM in which leaves begin to grow during the dry season due to unrealistic soil water movement. We introduced a rainfall trigger to the stress deciduous algorithm to address this issue, then showed the impacts of this change on the fire cycle and stored carbon.
