• ECOSSE differs from previous models (eg. ROTHC, SUNDIAL) in that
– It will simulate highly organic soils (important in Scotland)
– It has been developed to function at large scale (needed for national simulations)

Evaluation of ECOSSE• ECOSSE has been evaluated at
individual sites and performs well
• Evaluation at national scale was not initially possible (no data)
• Therefore, model was initially evaluated against CEH inventory. – Good agreement, but differences in specific
patterns

• In this project we test ECOSSE against a new dataset
• Dataset = NSIS1 (sampled 30 years ago) plus NSIS2 (sampled 2007).
• Test simulation of C content across a wide range of soil types and conditions
• Test simulation of changes in C content.

Steps• Develop version of ECOSSE which
functions at site level using only the data required at national level
• Test against NSIS data• Improve model• Rerun national simulations

Progress - NSIS evaluations
• Delay of 2 months in analysis of samples
• Simulations of NSIS now complete• Evaluations / improvements underway.

Good simulations of NSIS1 valuesMore spread in NSIS2 - indicates errors in simulation of trends in some cases

Simulations work well for all land use types

Simulations work well for land use change
Grassland to arable

But in some cases there are problems

Progress – National simulation
Scottish files prepared• When NSIS simulations are satisfactory
runs will be done
