Equation 9 should be as follows: dm = min[1.0, dbh/0.4].
Note that the program code was correct.

On table 1, the value for CO2_cmp should be 50 ppmv.

In section 2.13.2.3, which is entitled "Boreal summergreen needle-leaved woods (BoNS)", delete following excess sentence.
"The 10-day running mean of air temperature falls below 9C (2C for BoNS) or below the 10-year running mean of the coldest month temperature +5C."

Equation A44

Fault:
Correct:

By correctiong equation A44, evapotranspiration due to vapour pressure deficit becomes too large. So, we tuned c_aero and c_soil as follows.

Equation A46

Before:	caero = 0.42*0.42*wind / (Log(alpha))2
After:	caero = (1.0 + 0.537*wind) / 250.1

This equation was delivered by substituting empirical formulation of Penman (1948) into equation A44, assuming c_soil is infinite (i.e., considering evaporation from water saturated table).
Penman, H.L., 1948. Natural evaporation from open water, bare soil and grass. Proc. Roy. Soc. London, A 193.

Equation A47

Before:	csoil = 0.0224 * min[ {poolw1 / (wfi*Depth)}2, 1]
After:	csoil = 0.0015 * min[ {poolw1 / (wfi*Depth)}2, 1]

Equation A23

Fault:	ALBEDO = {ALBEDO + (0.7-ALBEDO)} / {1+exp(-0.05*(poolsnow-70.0))}
Correct:	ALBEDO = ALBEDO + (0.7-ALBEDO) / {1+exp(-0.05*(poolsnow-70.0))}

In Table B3, units of gs_top and gs should be (mol H2O m-2 s-1). Not (mol CO2 m-2 s-1).

In table B7, parameters for GS_b2 were too high. Typical value is around 5.0 (hPa). We assumed 5.0 for all PFTs (except C4 grass PFT. We assumed 2.0 for GS_b2). GS_b3 was also too high. Typical value is around 10.0. We assumed 10.0 for all PFTs. Refer Table 2 of Leuning (1995). Following is the corresponding list of parameters between Sato et al (2007) and Leuning (1995).

[Sato et al 2007]		[Leuning 1995]
GSb1 (mol H2O m-2 s-1)	--->	g0
GSb2	--->	a1
GSb3 (h Pa)	--->	D0 (Pa)

After changing these parameters, NPP will be decreased. So, Pmax (maximum photosynthesis rate) should be tune again after this correction. We simply added 3 to Pmax for all PFTs (except C4 grass PFT. We added 6.0)
