Denitrification in Agricultural Soils:Integrated control and Modelling at various scales (DASIM)

Overview

Nine sub-projects will closely work together in the framework of common experiments and central modelling. The experimental results provide the core data for modelling. Overall project coordination ensures that all project areas are appropriately integrated.

PC - Project coordination, database for project data, analysis of 15N tracer data

P1 - Experimental exploration of denitrification in multiscale porous media and soil

P2 - Regulation, ecophysiology, and kinetic parameters of uncultured N-gas flux associated anaerobic microbial communities in agricultural soils

P3 - Relevance of functional soil organic matter fractions for kinetics and spatiotemporal patterns of denitrification

P4 - Crop plant root effects on the soil environment for denitrification in agricultural soils

P5 - Processes determining nitrate dynamics in soil and the relationship to gaseous N production

P6 - Soil incubations for model validation data sets and experiments to quantify the anaerobic soil volume fraction

P7 - Biogeochemistry of denitrification – from plant-soil mesocosm studies to biogeochemical modelling at the ecosystem level

P8 - High-resolution Simulation of Denitrification
