Abstract
CERES N model has two forms—one for upland cereal crops and one for flooded soil rice cropping systems. Both versions simulate the turnover of soil organic matter and the decay of crop residues with the associated mineralization and/or immobilization of N. Nitrification of ammonium and N losses associated with denitrification are estimated by both models. The lowland version adds to this a floodwater chemistry routine which simulates the fluxes of ammoniacal N and urea between floodwater and soil, and calculates ammonia volatilization losses. Both models incorporate a plant N component which simulates N uptake and distribution within the plant and remobilization during grain filling and plant growth responses to plant N status. The models are closely coupled with the CERES water balance and crop growth routines and require few readily obtainable inputs.
