“…These results suggest that modelers need to be cautious when using nitrogen to scale physiological/growth parameters from leaf to tree/canopy or from tree to ecosystem levels under future climate conditions involving elevated [CO 2 ]. Nitrogen is commonly used for such up-scaling (Aber et al, 1996;Kull and Jarvis, 1996;Dang et al, 1997) and the primary productivity of forest ecosystems (Aber and Federer, 1992;Sellers et al, 1992;Goodale et al, 1998;Zak et al, 2003;Pan et al, 2004). It was worthy to note that the CO 2 elevation reduced LMR but increased the SMR and RMR with increasing N supply.…”

“…The 16 tree species included in the modelling have an array of parameters that define their respective life cycles, competitive abilities, biology, and climatic ranges (Table 2) and were obtained from several sources (Burns and Honkala 1990;Aber et al 1997;Goodale et al 1998;Scheller and Mladenoff 2005;Xu et al 2009;Bourque et al 2010), as well as from consultation with local experts in forest ecology. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the full effects of CO 2 fertilization on forest ecosystems, changes in stomatal conductance were not included in this study, a decision that is supported in other studies using PnET-II and LANDIS-II (Scheller and Mladenoff 2008;Gustafson et al 2010).…”

“…This model has already been used in regional studies in order to predict the sensitivity of forest production to climate variability and site quality (e.g. Goodale et al, 1998). DNDC is a soil biogeochemistry model used for predicting soil organic matter decomposition, nitrogen turnover and N 2 O production in agricultural soils (Li et al, 1992).…”

Abstract. Forest soils are a significant source for the primary and secondary greenhouse gases N 2 O and NO. However, current estimates are still uncertain due to the still limited number of field measurements and the herein observed pronounced variability of N trace gas fluxes in space and time, which are due to the variation of environmental factors such as soil and vegetation properties or meteorological conditions. To overcome these problems we further developed a process-oriented model, the PnET-N-DNDC model, which simulates the N trace gas exchange on the basis of the processes involved in production, consumption and emission of N trace gases. This model was validated against field observations of N trace gas fluxes from 19 sites obtained within the EU project NOFRETETE, and shown to perform well for N 2 O (r 2 =0.68, slope=0.76) and NO (r 2 =0.78, slope=0.73). For the calculation of a European-wide emission inventory we linked the model to a detailed, regionally and temporally resolved database, comprising climatic properties (daily resolution), and soil parameters, and information on forest areas and types for the years 1990, 1995 and 2000. Our calculations show that N trace gas fluxes from forest soils may vary substantial from year to year and that distinct regional patterns can be observed. Our central estimate of NO emissions from forest soils in the EU amounts to 98.4, 84.9 and 99.2 kt N yr −1 , using meteorology from 1990, 1995 and year 2000, respectively. This is <1.0% of pyrogenic NO x emisCorrespondence to: K. Butterbach-Bahl (klaus.butterbach@imk.fzk.de) sions. For N 2 O emissions the central estimates were 86.8, 77.6 and 81.6 kt N yr −1 , respectively, which is approx. 14.5% of the source strength coming from agricultural soils. An extensive sensitivity analysis was conducted which showed a range in emissions from 44.4 to 254.0 kt N yr −1 for NO and 50.7 to 96.9 kt N yr −1 for N 2 O, for year 2000 meteorology.The results show that process-oriented models coupled to a GIS are useful tools for the calculation of regional, national, or global inventories of biogenic N trace gas emissions from soils. This work represents the most comprehensive effort to date to simulate NO and N 2 O emissions from European forest soils.
