Plant water uptake and soil moisture modelling are currently only directly linked; soil moisture is reduced based on the evapotranspiration of the preceding month and plants assume unlimited water availability. This might lead to an overestimate of NPP.
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally we would like to run plants, hydrology, and abiotic model at a high temporal resolution to avoid this mismatch. This will likely not be computationally feasible. I would at least like to implement a function that makes plants see how much water there is available, for example by considering potential and actual evapotranspiration.
