1 Use of Models to Simulate Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions Bill Parton Steve Del Grosso
2 My Biases 1. Computer Models are the main tool for estimating Greenhouse Gas (N 2 O, CH 4, CO 2 ) emissions from ag soils 2. Expensive to measure Greenhouse Gas fluxes in the field 3. Multiple model Greenhouse Gas flux estimates are needed

31 Summary 1. We need computer models to assess greenhouse gas fluxes from agriculture DayCent and DNDC 2. Best management practices can greatly reduce agricultural greenhouse gas fluxes Connection to biofuels 3. Need field measurement program to generate data for model testing
32 Summary 4. Extensive testing of computer models is essential Standard data sets used to test models Model comparisons are needed
