ORCHIDEE model outputs before and after making maximum tree height a function of precipitation

This dataset contains the model code and outputs of the ORCHIDEE land surface model produced for and used in the analyses presented in: A. Valade, F. Kialka, J. Barichivich, S. Cheng, R. Lguensat, F. Maignan, G. Marie, K. Naudts, V. Tartaglione, C. Yue, and S. Luyssaert. Safeguarding knowledge-based land surface models in the age of machine learning: complementary assessments of accuracy, realism, and generality. Submitted to Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems. This dataset contains outputs of the ORCHIDEE land surface model over Eastern Australia between 1901 and 2020. The outputs correspond to two different historical simulations: one with a prescribed PFT-dependent parameter for the maximum tree height (ORCHIDEE_9677_stat) and one where the maximum tree height depends on the precipitation within the grid cell (ORCHIDEE_9755_dyn).
