A Biosphere-Atmosphere Interaction Model(BAIM) for use within physical climate models(two vegetation layers and three soil layers) was developed. In general, the fluxes simulated by the model agreed well with those observed. In particular, clear differences between the results using the parameters for C3 plants and those using the parameters for C4 plants appeared in the net carbon dioxide fluxes.
CO2 and H2O fluxes were measured over an artificial grassland composed of 31 herbaceous species; eight among them belong to C4 plants of graminoid. Above-ground biomass was also measured. A multi-layer canopy model well simulated the observed daily and seasonal variations of CO2 and H2O fluxes over the grassland.
