Short summary
Groundwater is ignored in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) models, potentially underestimating its impact on soil and vegetation simulation. To address this, an integrated ecohydrological model is developed by coupling a SPAC model to a hydrological model. The coupled model improved simulation of soil moisture, temperature, evapotranspiration, carbon fluxes and fluorescence. The findings highlight groundwater role in ecosystem dynamics and advance water, energy and carbon cycle modelling.
