"description": "<p><p>Manure-DNDC is a process based model which\r\ndescribes manure organic matter turnover and gas emissions, where the relations\r\nbetween environmental factors and reactions such as decomposition, hydrolysis,\r\nnitrification, volatilisation etc are incorporated in a computable framework in\r\norder to estimate carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions. </p>\r\n<p>Each component on a farm where manure is\r\nstored and emissions emanate (e.g., feedlot, lagoon, compost, anaerobic digester\r\nand cropping field) can be selected and integrated in the model to describe the\r\nfacilities on any given farm. The variations in environmental factors in each\r\nfacility drive the biochemical reactions (Li et al., 2012) and since the model\r\nis based upon thermodynamic principles and chemical reaction kinetics it can be\r\napplied to a variety of livestock facilities as well as cultivated soils. Manure-DNDC requires livestock herd, farm\r\nfacility specifications, daily weather, \r\nsoil and manure management practise data to be inputted to the\r\nmodel. It runs at a daily time-step for\r\nat least one year, where daily and annual pools and fluxes of C, N, P and water\r\nare outputted.</p>\r\n<p>In 2012, Li et al. published research in\r\nwhich datasets of air emissions from six US farms and one Scottish pasture were\r\nused to verify the model with sensitivity analysis showing that Manure-DNDC is\r\nable to cope with the complexity simulating air emissions from livestock\r\nfarms. The model results showed that\r\nreduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and ammonia emissions by 36% was\r\npotentially possible on a New York dairy farm, through a combination in changes\r\nin feed quality, planted crop type and lagoon coverage.</p>\r\n<p>Further development of Manure-DNDC will\r\nconsider additional functionality to address nutritional functions for\r\nlivestock, indirect emissions of GHG’s (transportation, feed import and\r\nmachinery) and an economic analysis. </p></p>",
