The reasoning behind the name is:<\/p><p>a) It does what it says on the tin: it simulates carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles as well as radiocarbon (14C). Including radiocarbon gives us a useful opportunity to test the turnover rates of soil using radiocarbon data. Bomb carbon from nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 60s created a pulse of 14C in the atmosphere that has been absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and incorporated into soils along with the plant matter. Measuring 14C in soils and using it in models can help us estimate the speed at which organic matter in soils decompose, which is important for carbon storage and ecosystem productivity. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bomb_pulse\">Read more about the bomb pulse.<\/a><\/p><p>b) It&#8217;s mildly amusing to chemists. Nitrogen has an atomic mass of 14 (N-14) and radiocarbon is 14C &#8211; hence N14C.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cbc2aa8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cbc2aa8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8591f1\" data-id=\"c8591f1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba45898 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ba45898\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-310bca8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"310bca8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c48f889\" data-id=\"c48f889\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc95185 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc95185\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To find out more about the model, please get in touch: <a href=\"mailto:jess.davies@lancaster.ac.uk\">jess.davies@lancaster.ac.uk\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ the N14CP Model The basics The N14CP model is a process-based representation of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in plants and soils.
