Short summary
Groundwater sustains vegetation and regulates land-atmosphere exchanges, yet most Earth system models oversimplify its dynamics. Our study develops an integrated framework coupling a dynamic vegetation model with the three-dimensional hydrological model ParFlow to explicitly represent groundwater-vegetation interactions. The results provide evidence that groundwater flow strongly regulates water exchanges and provides a powerful tool to improve simulations of water cycles in Earth system models.
