Abstract

Limited knowledge of the interactions across biosphere, atmosphere and nutrient cycles restricts our understanding on the complex relationship within the Earth system. Previous studies mostly focus on the interaction between any two of them such as the land-atmosphere coupling, nutrient limitation on ecosystem and atmospheric transport of the nutrient elements. This issue is expected to be solved under the Earth System framework of the E3SM. A typical case would be the interaction of tropical forest dynamics with Hadley circulation and their linkage to nutrient transport from Sahel to Amazon region. We aim to address specific science question such as would Hadley Cell feed itself via enhancing nutrient transport that increases tropical canopy greenness.
