Dear Authors,

I first apologize for the long delay in treating your manuscript. After checking careffully your responses to the reviewer's comments, i am glad to accept your manuscript for publication in GMD.

However, prior to publication, i spotted two technical typos: lignes 85, 150

Also in the modification of the manuscript (in responses to the reviewers) i would like to suggest a potential improvement.
In the introduction, the new paragraph on "process-based terrestrial ecosystem models" could be more precise with for instance separate references to models using the big leaf approach versus models using two big leaves and others using cluster of leaves. You also mention that they use LAI as input data, which i am not quite sure for the exemples that you provide. Referring to the TRENDY suite of models could also be informative.

Best regards,
Philippe
