      abstract     = {Vegetation plays an important role in global carbon and
                      water cycles. Long-term environmental changes modify
                      vegetation distributions and consequently impact fluxes of
                      carbon, water and energy. Vegetation dynamic models are
                      useful tools to analyze terrestrial ecosystem processes and
                      can simulate the impact of vegetation structure changes on
                      carbon and water cycles and their interactions with climate
                      when coupled to land surface models. Because of the
                      complexity to represent plant growth processes, these models
                      typically have a large number of parameters that can
                      potentially contribute to uncertainty in model results and
                      need to be adequately parameterized. In this study, we used
                      the Community Land Model (CLM v5) coupled to the
                      Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Simulator (FATES) and
                      applied it to four forest sites from the database of
                      European Long-Term Ecosystem Research Infrastructures
                      (eLTER) which provides a wide range of observational data to
                      calibrate and evaluate vegetation models. Using this
                      database, we performed sensitivity analysis to evaluate
                      parameter uncertainties in model results for forest growth,
                      gross primary production, leaf area index,
                      evapotranspiration, soil water content and soil temperature.
                      We also explored the sensitivity of model parameters for
                      different vegetation distributions and climate conditions.
                      The results of this study allow us to understand the
                      vegetation dynamics and their impact on carbon and water
                      fluxes which will be helpful to improve model
                      parameterization and to provide more accurate estimates of
                      carbon and water fluxes and climate model projections.},
