    "description": "<p><p>PnET-N-DNDC was modified by Kiese et al.\r\n(2005) to produce reliable estimates of N2O emissions from tropical rainforest\r\necosystems, a significant source of global N2O.&nbsp;\r\nDifferences in forest growth and soil hydrological properties between\r\ntemperate and tropical regions meant the model required adaption prior to\r\napplication in tropical regions, although the general structure of the original\r\nmodel was maintained.&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p>New parameterisations associated with plant\r\nphysiology and soil hydrology were added to PnET-DNDC as well as algorithms\r\nrelating to biological fixation of N, representing the effects of heavy\r\nrainfall damage and of water stress on daily leaf litterfall.&nbsp; Soil moisture conditions drive a dentrifier\r\nactivity index which influences N turnover by denitrification.&nbsp; A biological N fixation algorithm was also\r\nadded. Tree growth functions were also modified in Forest-DNDC-Tropica to\r\nenable growth to occur throughout the year as it is not limited by temperature\r\n(Kiese et al., 2005).</p>\r\n<p>Daily N2O emissions simulated by Kiese et\r\nal. (2005) were in agreement with field observations in the wet tropics of\r\nAustralia and Costa Rica and the model reproduced dynamic N2O patterns during\r\nthe wet season.&nbsp; The model was shown to\r\nbe sensitive to soil properties (pH, clay content, soil organic carbon) and\r\nclimatic factors (rainfall and temperature).&nbsp;\r\nThe tool may be used to scale up N2O emissions from site to regional\r\nscale, in order to improve regional or global N2O inventories. Kiese et al.\r\n(2005) recognise that further validation against detailed observed data would\r\nbe desirable and that Forest-DNDC-Tropica should be networked with hydrological\r\nmodels in the future. </p>\r\n<p>Some further development of the\r\nForest-DNDC-Tropica model developed by Kiese et al. (2005) was then made by\r\nWerner (2007).&nbsp; Werner et al. (2007)\r\nprovides further details of the three sub-models which comprise\r\nForest-DNDC-Tropica and which simulate soil climate, soil decomposition and\r\nforest growth.&nbsp; The distribution of soil\r\norganic carbon for the Australian rainforest soils was revised.&nbsp; Pedo-transfer functions which are specific to\r\ntropical soils and vital for simulating soil hydrology were added. Parameters\r\nthat relate to wood mass, leaf mass and floor mass were updated with externally\r\nsupplied values specifically calibrated for tropical rainforests (Werner et\r\nal., 2006).&nbsp; The model was also revised\r\nby Werner (2007) to comply with ANSI C++.&nbsp;</p></p>",
