    "description": "<p><p>UK-DNDC is a modification of DNDC, the\r\nprocess based model of carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in agro-ecosystems,\r\ndesigned specifically for application in the UK.&nbsp; This involved the addition of UK-specific\r\ninput data to the DNDC database and simulation of daily C and N inputs from\r\ngrazing animals and applied animal waste. The UK-DNDC model simulates N2O\r\nemissions from 18 crop types (crop height, optimum yield, C:N ratio of grain,\r\nroot and shoot and water requirement are parameterised) on the 3 dominant soil\r\ntypes in each county (Brown et al., 2002).&nbsp;\r\n</p>\r\n<p>An\r\nadditional irrigation module was included in UK-DNDC, which specified\r\nirrigation for each crop type (using county and crop specific statistics).&nbsp; The livestock element of the database was\r\nalso significantly modified from DNDC, details of which can be found in Brown\r\net al. (2002).</p>\r\n<p>UK-DNDC\r\nwas compared with 16 datasets of measured field experiments by Brown et al.\r\n(2002) and was found to generally be in agreement.&nbsp; Field scale validation of the model showed\r\nthat predictions matched observations well.</p>\r\n<p>The\r\nUK-DNDC was used to provide a national inventory of N2O emissions in 1990 and\r\nhas the advantage of taking contrasting soil, crop, climate and farming\r\npractises into account, unlike the traditional IPCC approach.&nbsp; This makes the model an ideal platform for\r\ninvestigating the effect of a number of different scenarios of N2O emissions\r\n(Brown et al., 2002).&nbsp; The 1990 inventory\r\nof N2O emissions from UK agriculture was estimated as 50.9Gg (31.7Gg from soil,\r\n5.9Gg from animals and 13.2Gg from the indirect sector).&nbsp; When these figures were compared to those\r\ncalculated by the IPCC methodology; emissions from soil and the indirect\r\nsectors were found to smaller with the UK-DNDC approach whereas emissions from\r\nthe livestock sector were larger.</p></p>",
