Incorporating nutrient content elasticity in the MAKEDEP model

  • Lena Björk

Summary, in English

The MAKEDEP model is designed to produce the time series of atmospheric

deposition and nutrient uptake and cycling needed by dynamic soil chemistry models such as SAFE.

A range of new features were implemented in the MAKEDEP model including

separate treatment of several tree compartments (e.g. root, stem, bark, branch,

canopy) and variable nutrient content in the different compartments. The model is designed to produce output that can easily be used as input to the multi-layer soil chemistry model SAFE.

The introduction of variable nutrient content calls for a separate treatment of

biomass and stored nutrients and also affects the calibration procedure used in the MAKEDEP model
