Research Focus FY08:
Nitrogen fluxes from soil nitrification/ denitrification. Sensitivity to soil saturation - High resolution figure
Julia Lee-Taylor is implementing a detailed empirically-based parameterization of soil nitrogen cycling in the CCSM. The action of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria results in release to the atmosphere of nitrogen gases N2, N2O and NOx. The model includes factors such as rainfall timing, soil moisture regime and temperature, which influence the rates of nitrification and denitrification and, ultimately, the quantities and proportions of the evolved gases. The code is still in the troubleshooting stage. They plan to use the working model to assess the effects of soil nitrogen cycling on tropospheric oxidation chemistry and on soil carbon cycling.
