Nutrient Cycling Model

• Simulates vegetation growth, litter fall and decay, soil biogeochemical processes, and moisture routing.
• Tracks nutrient pools available in soil strata and vegetation and predicts the fluxes between them.
• Simulates the response of forests to atmospheric deposition and to various forest management practices (e.g., application of fertilizers or clear cutting).
• Tests hypotheses relating to tree growth and conservation of nutrients.
• Version 2.0 currently available.
