Subgrid parametrizations mediate the large‐scale effects of soil macroporosity on the water cycle in the ORCHIDEE land surface model
Soil structure is nearly as important as soil texture in determining the soil hydraulic properties at the core scale. At plot scale, soil structure—and particularly soil macroporosity—strongly affects drainage and the runoff–infiltration partition. At the 100‐km scale typical for land surface models, however, the eff...
