Simulation-based assessment of the soil organic carbon sequestration in grasslands in relation to management and climate change scenarios

Modeling the Daily Dynamics of Grass Growth of Several Species According to Their Functional Type, Based on Soil Water and Nitrogen Dynamics: Gras-Sim Model Definition, Parametrization and Evaluation

“…Hence, decision-making by farmers could be greatly improved if they could project the impact of their operational choices on their grasslands. Modeling work has already been done in this direction, using climate scenarios to predict the effects of management on grasslands productivity and organic carbon sequestration [11][12][13][14]. For the future climate, these models used site-specific data from the RCP (Representative Climate Pathways) scenarios provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).…”
