Calibration and validation of models for short-term decomposition and N mineralization of plant residues in the tropics

Calibration and validation of models for short-term decomposition and N mineralization of plant residues in the tropics

Insight of nutrient release patterns associated with the decomposition of plant residues is important for their effective use as a green manure in food production systems. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the ability of the Century, APSIM and NDICEA simulation models for predicting the decompositi...
