13. Biome-BGC is a process-based biogeochemical model that can be used to simulate carbon, nitrogen and water fluxes of different terrestrial ecosystems. The BBGC CARBON executes a single simulation run, which consists of a so called spinup and normal simulation phases pipelined. The simulations require specific parameter inputs like: - spinup and normal initialization files (INI) - daily meteorology dataset file (METDATA) - ecophysiological constants file (EPC) - annual atmospheric CO2 concentration file (CO2 - optional) - annual nitrogen deposition file (NDEF - optional) - site/soil parameters - output control settings of Biome-BGC variables The Biome-BGC Projects database was developed to easy prepare, manage and share all of the above mentioned datasets and provide interaction with Taverna workflows.
