Abstract
The modelling adapted in the SUFOR programme attempts to take a large step forward. This chapter describes some of the biogeochemistry processes needed in the next step biogeochemical modelling taken in SUFOR. There are several models for nutrient dynamics and growth available, however, development of these have in some respects moved in old tracks for the last decade. We see several drawbacks in these older constructs with respect to operationality and several new steps are necessary, especially with respect to nitrogen and carbon cycling, but also with respect to developing models that operate on observable parameters. What is described in the following is the result of several theme groups that have been operative in the SUFOR Programme. The groups have been multidisciplinary, which was a great help for innovation.
