Document Summary
The sequence of events which describe the movement of carbon between atmosphere, water bodies, soil, plants and animals. It describes the way carbon is recycled and reused. The series of events by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and living things, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition. It is the ratio of mass of carbon to mass of nitrogen. The equations to compute the c:n ratio are very complex. So there are some softwares used to compute the. C-n cycle : century, omni, rzwqm, nleap, etc. A gis version can be downloaded from http://www. ars. usda. gov/services/docs. htm?docid=20339. For more information read nleap chapter in this book: Managing n for groundwater quality and farm profitability: atmospheric deposition. Nitrogen fixation from atmosphere is in two forms : nitrate ((cid:1840)(cid:1841)(cid:2871) ) and ammonium ions ((cid:1840)(cid:2872)+) Example 1: annual precipitation in montreal is 835 mm (wiki). Please compute the atmospheric nitrogen deposition per ha in montreal.
