"description": "<p><p>Nest-DNDC is an integration of Northern\r\nEcosyste Soil Temperature (NEST) model and DNDC that upscales methane fluxes\r\nfrom plant communities to ecosystem scale in permafrost peatlands. Information is exchanged between the two\r\nmodels at code level, so the model is able to simulate the interaction between\r\nbiogeochemical process and soil thermal-hydrological conditions. </p>\r\n<p>NEST-DNDC simulates an ecosytem domain that\r\nis made up of many plant communities, which share common weather and geological\r\nconditions but vary in their biophysical factors. An area-weighted sum of plant community fluxes\r\ncan calculate ecosystem scale fluxes. A\r\nsimulated deep ground profile captures changes in summer thaw depth, variations\r\nof permafrost with climate and provides a lower boundary condition for water\r\ntable depth.</p>\r\n<p>NEST-DNDC is also able to siumulate upland\r\nand wetland ecosystems without permafrost. \r\nThe modelled soil profile can contain may different soil textures and\r\nlayers of varying thickness and gravel content. \r\nThe model can be applied to a wide range of ecosystems from forest to\r\ntundra, as it can model an upper- and understory of woody plants, a layer of\r\nsedges or grass and a layer of mosses.</p>\r\nChanges of bubble volume in the soil profile\r\n(based on the ideal gas law and Henry's Law) were tracked using a newly\r\ndeveloped ebullition module. Model\r\nresults were in agreement with those measured by closed chamber and eddy\r\ncovariance method for the Lena River Delta, Russia. Zhang et al. (2012) found the model to be\r\ncapable of upscaling methane fluxes to larger scales.<br></p>",
