Ventana software support forum

Please let me know if you are aware of a Vensim PLE- model
available for simulating simple soil carbon budget and land
use changes (under-graduate level) or if you are in contact
with people interested in such models using Vensim.

Thank you in advance, Bo

Check out the following:

Jones, D. K. 1984. Soil Nitrogen Dynamics. Masters Thesis. Hanover, NH:
Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College.

As I recall, Barry Richmond supervised this thesis.

Also see,

Bach, N L, and Saeed, K. 1992. Food Self-sufficiency in Vietnam: a search
for a viable solution. system Dynamics Review. 8(2): 129-148.

This paper addresses land use and changes in soil fertility.

The models in above writings can probably be simplified for use at
undergraduate level.
