Upgrading APSIM nitrogen cycling and loss routines with data from the National Australian Nitrous Oxide Research Program (NANORP)

This investment will access the high precision Nitrogen (N) dataset collected by the NANORP program to develop validate and/or improve soil N algorithms within APSIM that predict daily changes in N pools and movement, plant uptake and N losses. The work will also highlight any further weaknesses in the APSIM N module, gaps in N data to further improve these, and specific recommendations for future N research and development.
