• Description:
  Changes in carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration and nitrogen (N) availability can affect land surface processes by regulating physiological (e.g., stomatal opening and closure) and phenological (e.g., leaf area index) responses, which in turn influence terrestrial water cycle dynamics. In this study, we apply the Community Land Model version 5 to investigate how projected environment changes in the 21st century can affect the hydrologic budget in the Upper Columbia-Priest Rapids watershed, a typical semiarid watershed located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Nine numerical experiments were performed to quantifying contributions of climate change, CO 2 concentration, and N availability
