Abstract

The denitrification-decomposition (DNDC) model is a process-oriented simulation model of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) biogeochemistry. The model is intended to be used for estimating effects of climate change, land use, agricultural management, soil properties, and atmospheric nitrogen deposition on soil C and N dynamics. DNDC is a site model with simulated time span from several days to centuries.
