2016 - Shepherd, Wheeler - Guidelines on data collection from lysimeter and small plot experiments for evaluating OVERSEER nitrogen leaching estimates

Helpdesk
  • Updated

The OVERSEER Team receives many requests from researchers on what information would be useful to enable the use of that experiment for further development of OVERSEER. Therefore, the aim of these guidelines is to describe the information that would be required from such experiments to provide additional data for evaluating and developing the Background and Urine patch sub-models within OVERSEER. These data can be considered in terms of:

  • Data that describes the experiment set-up and conditions to enable the experiment to be represented as accurately as possible by the model (e.g. climate and soils data) - inputs.
  • The results that the experiment produces, e.g. measured N losses as affected by the experiment treatments (outputs) that can be used to compare with OVERSEER or aid its development.
