Dr. Cong Wang
Self-introduction
My research focuses on modelling N fluxes (e.g. N2O emissions and NO3- fluxes) from agricultural soils. The model I have applied in the past years is the eco-hydrological Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. I developed an N2O submodule for the SWAT model in the “R” programming language. The developed N2O submodule and the SWAT model were applied to simulate hydrological processes, NO3- fluxes and N2O fluxes from two Austrian agricultural catchments.
In the future, I will keep modelling N2O emissions and NO3- fluxes from agricultural soils under climate change. But more models will be included, for example, the biogeochemical model DNDC (DeNitrification-DeComposition) and the soil crop model STICS (Simulateur mulTIdisciplinaire pour les Cultures Standard).
In addition, coupling/decoupling human activities and ecosystems is also part of my research interests.
