The likely increase in drought frequency as a result of climate change, might switch the Amazon forest from being a sink to a source of carbon, setting off a positive feedback on the increasing greenhouse effect. Hence, the drought sensitivity of the water and carbon cycles in the Amazon is a crucial point in the evaluation of climate models.In this PhD thesis, we evaluate in off-line mode, how the CNRM land surface model ISBACC, represents the water and carbon cycles and their response to drought in the Amazon. For this purpose, we used published ecophysiological data together with five Amazonian flux tower sitesand two artificial drought experiments. Since the standard version of the model was not satisfactory, we modified the parameteriz...
