  - Large uncertainties on the sensitivity of Amazon forests to drought exist. Even
    though water stress should suppress photosynthesis and enhance tree mortality,
    a green‐up has been often observed during the dry season. This interplay between
    climatic forcing and forest phenology is poorly understood and inadequately represented
    in most of existing dynamic global vegetation models calling for an improved description
    of the Amazon seasonal dynamics. Recent findings on tropical leaf phenology are
    incorporated in the state‐of‐the‐art eco‐hydrological model Thetys & Chloris.
    The new model accounts for a mechanistic light‐controlled leaf development, synchronized
    dry‐season litterfall, and an age‐dependent leaf photosynthetic capacity. Simulation
    results from 32 sites in the Amazon basin over a 15‐year period successfully mimic
    the seasonality of gross primary productivity; evapotranspiration (ET); as well
    as leaf area index, leaf age, and leaf productivity. Representation of tropical
    leaf phenology reproduces the observed dry‐season greening, reduces simulated
    gross primary productivity, and does not alter ET, when compared with simulations
    without phenology. Tolerance to dry periods, with the exception of major drought
    events, is simulated by the model. Deep roots rather than leaf area index regulation
    mechanisms control the response to short‐term droughts, but legacy effects can
    exacerbate multiyear water stress. Our results provide a novel mechanistic approach
    to model leaf phenology and flux seasonality in the tropics, reconciling the generally
    observed dry‐season greening, ET seasonality, and decreased carbon uptake during
    severe droughts.@eng
