    "description": "<p><p>The PnET-N-DNDC process-orientated model\r\nwhich simulates C and N dynamics in upland forest ecosystems and the FLATWOODS\r\n(Sun et al., 1998) distributed hydrological model have been integrated to\r\ncreate the Wetland-DNDC model.&nbsp; The main\r\nstructure of Wetland-DNDC is taken from PnET-N-DNDC (Li et al., 2000), with\r\nseveral additional functions and algorithms developed for Wetland-DNDC to\r\nrepresent features unique to wetland ecosystems such as anaerobic conditions,\r\ngrowth of mosses and herbaceous plants and water table dynamics.&nbsp; The model is capable of predicting carbon\r\nbiogeochemical cycles in wetland ecosystems through the integration of the\r\nprimary drives of climate, hydrology, soil and vegetation (Zhang et al. 2002).&nbsp; </p>\r\n<p>Zhang et al. (2002) describes the model as\r\nconsisting of four interacting components: hydrological conditions, soil\r\ntemperature, plant growth and soil C dynamics.&nbsp;\r\nInitial conditions need to be set (e.g. for plant biomass, soil\r\nporosity, soil C content, and water table position). In addition the climate\r\ndrivers are inputs to the model and some model parameters (e.g., lateral\r\ninflow/outflow parameters, maximum photosynthesis rate). The model output\r\nincludes C pools and fluxes and thermal/hydrological conditions.</p>\r\n<p>The model was validated by Zhang et al.\r\n(2002) against observations from three wetland sites in North America, which\r\nwere in agreement with measurements of water table dynamics, soil temperature,\r\nmethane (CH4) fluxes, Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) and annual carbon\r\nbudgets.&nbsp; Plant photosynthesis capacity,\r\ninitial soil C content, air temperature and water outflow parameters were shown\r\nto be the most critical input factors for C dynamics in wetland ecosystems\r\nthrough sensitivity analysis.</p><p><p>Wetland-DNC has had additional enhancements\r\nby (Li et al 2004) to enable changes in management practices that affect carbon\r\nsequestration to be represented, such as forest harvest, tree planting,\r\nchopping and burning and water management.</p></p></p>",
