It is increasingly realized that the management of the agricultural land is an integral part to maintain global carbon market. This demands the need for soil carbon modelling exercises to simulate agricultural crops and their rotations to simulate soil organic matter decomposition under various soil conditions. Century model allows the simulation of complex agricultural management systems which include crop rotation, tillage practices, fertilization, irrigation, grazing and harvesting. Century uses a monthly time step utilizing average monthly maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation. Two Long Term Fertilizer Experiments (LTFE) with different cropping systems from Mohanpur representing humid bio-climate of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, India (IGP) with mean annual rainfall of 1619 mm and Akola representing semi-arid bio-climate with MAR of 793 mm were selected. The site at LTFE Akola is grown for sorghum and wheat in rotation for 9 years since 1988. LTFE Mohanpur is grown for paddy and wheat in rotation for 19 years since 1986. Both these experiments involved different treatments with different doses of inorganic (fertilizer) and organic (farm yard manure, paddy straw, and green manure) inputs. Century model output was compared with available field data to evaluate its performance. To evaluate the modelled vs. estimated data, visual examination of graphic output allows qualitative evaluation, whereas, for quantitative analyses statistical packages were utilized for the experimental period. Century seems to model changes in SOC more successfully at Mohanpur (humid) site for all the treatments, with the control and the treatments with fertilizer alone and in combination with organic inputs showing the best agreement (root mean square error, RMSE 1 to 3) than Akola (semi-arid) site. At the semi-arid site, Century performed well for the early years of the experiment; and less well during the end of the experiment. The comparison between reported and modelled yield for the three crops (rice, wheat and sorghum) showed a good correlation (r = 0.8). Not Available |
