Description

Models play a crucial role in studying complex systems like soil Carbon sequestration processes (Hanson et al., 2001). A Carbon sequestration research project is currently under way in pasture and silvopastoral systems of four Tropical American ecosystems. A main research question is the identification of Land Management Systems (LMS) that exhibit optimal soil Carbon sequestration capacity (identification question). Another main issue is the extrapolation of data in space and time (extrapolation question).
