Modeling Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics for Soil Management - 9780367397357

CRC Press

By presenting a systematic summarization of the various models available, this book gives you the tools to obtain information about strengths and weaknesses, level of complexity, easiness of use, and application range of each model. The book's coverage ranges from theoretical comparison of models to application of models to soil management problems, from laboratory applications to field and watershed scale applications, from short-term simulation to long-term prediction, and from DOS-based computer programs to Object-Oriented and Graphical Interface designs. With this broad scope, Modeling Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics for Soil Management provides the tools to manage complex carbon/nitrogen processes effectively. > Good management practices for carbon and nitrogen are vital to crop productivity and soil sustainability, as well as to the reduction of global greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. Since the 1950's, mathematical models have advanced our understanding of carbon an
