Mechanistic representation of soil resilience in models

To provide the mechanistic basis that describes soil responses to disturbances (functional vulnerability after disturbances and recovery capacity) to inform and improve soil mechanistic models [WP2].

New equations to describe allocation of C from GPP into mycorrhizae & its effect on decomposition

Based on existing approaches we will represent C-N exchanges between trees and mycorrhizae. This approach must be consistent with requirements of ORCHIDEE and EFISCEN-space.

Global database of indicators of soil vulnerability & resilience to natural disturbances

Synthesised existing knowledge on the potential vulnerability of soils to different disturbances and their recovery capacities.

Representation of biodiversity effect on C-N exchanges

Using data gathered in other WPs, we will develop a simple approach able to represent the effect of biodiversity on C-N exchanges

ORCHIDEE-Millennial

The current soil module of ORCHIDEE will be replaced by Millennial in a version that includes the effects of soil biodiversity on decomposition.

Stakeholder-oriented tools for predicting future GHG balances from forest soils

Version 2 of the web interface from D2.1.b, able to run with disturbances and providing confidence index to the end-user, based on model residues analysis

ORCHIDEE-KEYLINK

A new module based on KEYLINK will be integrated into ORCHIDEE to represent the effect of soil food web interaction on hydrology related parameters.

Atlas of initial conditions & model evaluation

Atlas containing maps documenting the initial conditions of the selected models, and documenting responses of the models to CSF management. Maps will include a comparison of the selected models with one another, and with observation-based products. The independent datasets will come from WP3, WP4, and WP5. The atlas will contain maps of bulk density, pH, litter depth, soil C content, soil C/N ratios, tree diameter, tree height, stand density, maps of litter input, soil respiration, basal area, standing biomass, and wood harvest.

Model ensemble script

Python script able to run all models considered in T21 including equilibrium

New version of ORCHIDEE & EFISCEN-space

Yasso07 and CENTURY—being the current soil modules of EFISCEN-space and ORCHIDEE, respectively—will be improved by integrating developments from T2.2, in order to represent the effects of soil biodiversity. Here we will implement them directly into the two ecosystem models used in WP6.

Parameterisation of long-term dynamics

Based on control experiments [WP5], parameters driving long-term responses of forests to environmental conditions will be established.

Open access harmonised maps

Harmonised maps of organic soils, soil properties (e.g. soil bulk density, pH, C and N concentrations and stocks at different depths, N emissions, C budget), biodiversity indicators, and EU forest soils vulnerability.

Report on model simulations

Based on the control and disturbance experiments [WP5] from sites not used for parameterisation, we will evaluate the main GHG fluxes calculated by models.

Soil sampling design, monitoring & measurement protocols

Field guides for soil sampling, measurement protocols for GHG reporting, and a guideline for error calculation of GHG reporting, which. These guidelines will be used for training courses, new monitoring systems, and GHG reporting. They will focus on time and space scale monitoring for different aims, large monitoring for upscaling, and intensive monitoring for a better process understanding.
