Dear authors:

Thank you providing your replies to the comments from three referees. All the referees gave positive evaluations to your manuscript, although they requested major and minor amendments. I studied the open discussion and found that you responded appropriately to the referee comments. The addition of new Table 1 would help readers to understand the experimental procedure. Also, I appreciate your efforts to compile the results, although JSBACH allowed a limited number of output variables and some calculation data of PREBAS were lost. I expect that the revised manuscript better describes motivation and methodology (e.g., parameter ensemble) on the basis of the open discussion.

Dear Authors:

Thank you for uploading the revised manuscript, which was modified on the basis of the referee comments. The open discussion was closed, and no additional comment has been posted. This is an interesting model-based assessment, providing insights into the responses of boreal forests to climatic change. Considering the evaluations by three referees and the amendments you made, I conclude that the manuscript would be acceptable for publication.
