Abstract

The MAKEDEP model is designed to produce the time series of atmospheric
deposition and nutrient uptake and cycling needed by dynamic soil chemistry models such as SAFE.
A range of new features were implemented in the MAKEDEP model including
separate treatment of several tree compartments (e.g. root, stem, bark, branch,
canopy) and variable nutrient content in the different compartments. The model is designed to produce output that can easily be used as input to the multi-layer soil chemistry model SAFE.
The introduction of variable nutrient content calls for a separate treatment of
biomass and stored nutrients and also affects the calibration procedure used in the MAKEDEP model
