The Role of Vegetation Clumping in Regulating Global Heat Fluxes Accounting for Land‐Atmosphere Coupling
The Clumping Index (CI) critically regulates canopy radiation, yet its role in reshaping global heat fluxes under land‐atmosphere (L‐A) interactions remains poorly quantified. We integrated satellite‐derived CI into the Community Earth System Model (CESM) to assess its impacts through L‐A coupled simulations. Results s...
