CLM: Surface Heterogeneity
The land surface is represented by 5 primary sub-grid land cover types (landunits: glacier, lake, wetland, urban, vegetated) in each grid cell. The vegetated portion of a grid cell is further divided into patches of plant functional types, each with its own leaf and stem area index and canopy height. Each subgrid land cover type and PFT patch is a separate column for energy and water calculations.
