GLOBAL DNDC NETWORK

The Global DNDC Network is an international network of researchers and model developers using the process-based Denitrification Decomposition model (DNDC)... DNDC is a process-based model that simulates the soil biogeochemical processes occurring in agricultural systems. It was originally developed as a tool to predict nitrous oxide emissions from cropping systems... As a process-based model DNDC is capable of predicting soil fluxes of all three agricultural greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane) as well as other important environmental and economic factors such as crop production and nitrate leaching. The original DNDC model, widely used internationally, has been expanded to include other agricultural systems such as rice paddies, grazed pastures, and forests.
