A semi-analytical solution to accelerate spin-up of a coupled carbon and nitrogen land model to steady state

The spin-up of land models to steady state of coupled carbon–nitrogen processes is computationally so costly that it becomes a bottleneck issue for global analysis. In this study, we introduced a semi-analytical solution (SAS) for the spin-up issue. SAS is fundamentally based on the analytic solutio...
