Biological nitrogen fixation of natural and agricultural vegetation simulated with LPJmL 5.7.9 by S. B. Wirth, S. B. Wirth, J. Braun, J. Heinke, S. Ostberg, S. Rolinski, S. Schaphoff, F. Stenzel, W. von Bloh, F. Taube, C. Müller

“…Still, BNF is often modelled as a function of net primary productivity or evapotranspiration, and the actual drivers are neglected. We implemented plant-functional-type-specific limitations for BNF dependent on soil temperature and soil water content, as well as a cost of BNF, in the Lund–Potsdam–Jena managed Land (LPJmL) DGVM and compared the new (“C-costly”) against the previous (“Original”) approach and data from the scientific literature. …”
