Short summary
This work examines the roles of cropland representation and the treatment of photosynthetic pathways in the uncertainties of carbon flux simulations in Earth System Models (ESMs). Our results show that reducing these uncertainties will require improvements in the representation of C3 and C4 crops and natural vegetation area coverage, as well as the theories underpinning the simulation of their carbon uptake processes, specifically the implementation of photosynthetic pathways.
