Denitrification Modeling Across Terrestrial, Freshwater and Marine Systems
November 28-30, 2006
At The Institute of Ecosystem Studies,
Millbrook, New York, USA
Breakout Working Group Discussions
Workshop breakout groups provided a critical forum for interaction and discussion between people who model and measure denitrification across a range of different systems to:
- address how to best model denitrification at the whole watershed scale for each system with current methods,
- integrate denitrification measurements and models to identify where to improve models and input data, and
- develop intermediate and long-term goals for improving models to scale up and applied to a range of local, regional and global scales.
Breakout working group discussions are summarized below. We anticipate these draft summaries will be developed into papers to be included in a special issue on denitrification modeling.
