Influence of vegetation spatial structure on growth and water fluxes of a mixed forest: Results from the NOTG 3D model

Many natural terrestrial ecosystems, agroforestry systems, and, increasingly, forest plantations, are made of a mixture of species and display significant structural heterogeneity. Yet most carbon-based biophysical models are limited to homogeneous, monospecific canopies.
