Simulating soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics with the soil-plant-atmosphere system model DAISY

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 38))

Abstract

DAISY is a deterministic model that simulates the C and N-fluxes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system (Hansen et al., 1990; Hansen et al., 1991b). It consists of submodels for soil water (inch solute movement), soil temperature, soil organic matter (inch microb. biomass), soil mineral N, crop growth and system management. The model in its present version is adapted to the wet temperate climate of North-Western Europe. Beside its use in scientific system studies, it has been used as a management tool at the field scale (Jensen et al. 1994b), and in regional-scale studies (Styczen & Storm 1993). It has been validated under various conditions (Hansen et al., 1991a, b, c; Jensen et al., 1994a; Petersen et ah, 1995; Svendsen et al., 1995; Vereecken et al., 1991).
