Abstract:
contents of the model
The complex model of soil SOIL_MOD was developed to describe the soil water, temperature and nitrogen dynamics. It is part of the agroecosystem model system DEMETER. This model system consists the winter wheat model TRITSIM, the soil dynamics model SOIL_MOD and the root dynamics model ROOT_MOD and investigates the water and nutrient flows in an agroecosystem.
principles of the model
The model works discretely in time (time step 1 day) and depth (maximum 30 layers of any thickness) and in a hierarchic sequence. For every simulation step the results of the water submodel and the soil temperature submodel will be used in the soil nitrogen submodel. Soil water regime is calculated by using a capacity approach, for escribing the dynamics of soil temperature the one dimensional differential equation for heat conduction is used.
