additional information of model simulation model for nitrogen conditions in soils (SOILN*)


period of development: from 01.01.1979 to 01.01.1991


environmental conditions

geographical location





scales

temporal scale:

stepsize from: 1.000 to: 1440.000, unit: min

time frame from: 1.000 to: 100.000, unit: years

verbal description: even longer than a century.


state of development:

fully validated (in combination with the soil water and heat model SOIL (see coupling with other models)).

further remarks concerning the state of development:

Due to its many extensions SOILN is now applicable to any soils independent of the plant cover.


application recommendations

current users:

number of users worldwide: 0
number of users nationwide: 0
current use: unknown

uses aimed at: model development, education, research

use of the model:

support required: Due to the manual no support should be required.
support available: If a user gets problems, finds bugs or wants to report a phenomenon he can call or write to the author of the model. In this case the user is asked to enclose copies of all the inputs and commands.

interactive use posible: The model requires different input values which have to be defined by the user. This can be done either separately or interactively while running SOILN.
