"description": "<p><p>Grote et al. (2011) integrated dimensional\r\ntree growth and mortality routines with MoBiLE-PSIM, a physiologically based\r\nprocess model, to enable quantification of \r\nthe impacts of direct and indriect impacts of forest management on\r\ncarbon balances within ecosystems. </p>\r\n<p>Simulations were performed using\r\nmicroclimate, water cycle, soil nutrient dynamics, physiology and dimensional\r\nchange models combined in a MOBiLE (Grote et al., 2008) framework. The framework manages the exchange of\r\nvariables between models and modules that describe the cycling of water, carbon\r\nand nitrogen in the biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. An Empirical-based Canopy Model (Grote et al.,\r\n2009a) is used to provide hourly climatic information for canopy layers and\r\nDNDC calculates soil temperature, which drives biogeochemical calculations. The DNDC water balance module is used to\r\ncalculate water availability and DNDC calculations are used to to simulate the\r\nmineralisation, nitrification and denitrification above and below ground. PSIM and DNDC were linked previously in Grote\r\net al. (2009b) by plant uptake of nitrogen. \r\nThe DNDC model used in the MoBiLE framework is able to calculate '\"water\r\npools and fluxes throughout the total rooted soil profile with soil layer\r\nspecific parameterisations\", unlike in the orginal version. A physiology\r\nbased model, PSIM, simulates further vegetation processes such as plant\r\nrespiration, senescence and allocation of carbon and nitrogen and nitrogen\r\nuptake. </p>\r\n<p>Simulations are site specific and\r\ninformation is only exchanged vertically (from the top of the vegetation to the\r\ntotal rooting depth in the soil) between time steps, as it is 1-D column\r\nmodelling. The vertical dimension is\r\ndivided into flexible vegetation layers, of equal height, and a variety of soil\r\nlayers (defined by C content, N content, field capacity, wilting point, pH,\r\nsaturated conductivity, clay and stone content, bulk density). The model operates on either a sub-daily,\r\ndaily or any multiple of day time steps. \r\nVegetation information required includes species, height, canopy length,\r\naverage diameter at 1.3m, total stem volume, total above ground biomass and\r\ntree number.</p><p><p>MoBiLE-DNDC was shown to be capable of\r\nsimulating carbon fluxes in various types of pureforests, which covered old to\r\nyoung forests and a variety of species (deciduous, evergreen, needle and broad\r\nleaved) by Grote et al. (2011). The\r\nmodel is able to quantify real management impacts on the carbon cycle (the\r\nmodel recognises losses from thinning) and there feedback effects, which signifies\r\nprogress in carbon flux modelling.</p>\r\nMoBiLE-DNDC was adapted by Wolf et al. (2012) to\r\nexamine nitrous oxide emissions during freeze-thaw events in temperate\r\necoystems, through the addition of routines that relate maximum snow height to\r\nend of season biomass (ESSB). The model\r\nwas developed to better simulate plant production, snow height and soil\r\nmoisture for steppe terrain exposed to different grazing intensities in\r\nMongolia. The new routines account for\r\ndecreased plant productivity resulting from grazing and the increase of\r\nimpedance of soil ice on soil hydraulic conductivity. Modelling impedance within MoBiLE-DNDC improved\r\nsimulation of soil water content and decreased the oxygen content in the top\r\nsoil during periods of freeze-thaw. Nitrous\r\noxide emissions were shown to decrease during spring thaw as a result of lower\r\nwater content and anaerobiosis, which was also observed in field observations. <br></p></p>",
