Description#

The acronym MONICA is derived from „MOdel of Nitrogen and Carbon dynamics in Agro-ecosystems”.

MONICA is a dynamic, process-based agroecosystem simulation model which describes transport and bio-chemical turn-over of carbon, nitrogen and water in agro-ecosystems. In daily time steps, the most important processes in soil and plant are modelled mechanistically. They are linked in such way that feed-back relations of the single processes are reproduced as close to nature as possible. MONICA works one dimensionally and represents a space of 1 m2 surface area and 2 m depth.​
