We present a new decomposition model of C and N cycling in forest ecosystems that
simulates N mineralisation from decomposing tree litter. It incorporates a mechanistic …

We applied a new version of the G'DAY ecosystem model to short-rotation plantations of
Eucalyptus globulus growing under a Mediterranean climate in south-western Australia. The …

The forest litter decomposition model (FLDM) described in this paper provides an important
basis for assessing the impacts of forest management on seasonal stream water quality and …

Simulation of decomposition and inorganic nitrogen release in complex biogeochemical
models can be based on different principles. A major problem is the link between carbon …

Microbial carbon and nitrogen dynamics were determined in litter from a Scots pine and a
Douglas fir forest, using a combination of 15N enrichments and a dynamic simulation model …

The CENTURY model of soil organic matter turn-over developed by Parton and co-workers
has been used successfully for grasslands to predict dynamics of C, N and other nutrients. It …

The general features of nitrogen (N) cycles in temperate forests and the important processes
to consider when modeling change in these cycles include atmospheric inputs, N fixation …

Nitrogen is an element normally in short supply for plants in boreal and temperate forests,
and recycling to plants of this nutrient is here a key factor in the control of primary production …

For closed canopy forests, both above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) and wood
yield decline as stands age. However the physiological mechanisms responsible for the …

A simple model of the decomposition and nitrogen mineralization of plant material from two
unfertilized grassland ecosystems has been developed, with only the proportion of leaves …
