ECOSSE Model Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Turnover Output for Red Soil Region

Environmental Information Data Centre provides ECOSSE model simulation output for soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. The data includes soil organic carbon concentration, nitrogen, available water, and carbon dioxide metrics for the Sunjia agricultural catchment in Jiangxi province, China. Simulations were conducted in 2017 using input data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Use Cases

• Calibrate soil carbon models using simulated soil organic carbon concentration and nitrogen turnover data.
• Analyze correlations between simulated available water content and carbon dioxide output in agricultural soils.
• Validate regional soil health assessments with model-derived nitrogen and soil organic carbon concentration metrics.

Strengths

• Output from the ECOSSE model, a specialized pool-based carbon and nitrogen turnover model.
• Simulations based on soil and climate input data provided by the soil science department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
• Data represents a specific agricultural catchment (Sunjia) in the Red Soil region of Southeast China.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single small agricultural catchment (Sunjia).
• Simulation data from 2017 may not reflect current soil or climate conditions.
• Unknown sample size and granularity of the model output records.
