abstract = {Croplands play an important role in the carbon budget of
many regions. However, the estimation of their carbon
balance remains difficult due to diversity and complexity of
the processes involved. We report the coupling of a
one-dimensional soil water, heat, and CO2 flux model
(SOILCO2), a pool concept of soil carbon turnover (RothC),
and a crop growth module (SUCROS) to predict the net
ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon. The coupled model,
further referred to as AgroC, was extended with routines for
managed grassland as well as for root exudation and root
decay. In a first step, the coupled model was applied to two
winter wheat sites and one upland grassland site in Germany.
The model was calibrated based on soil water content, soil
temperature, biometric, and soil respiration measurements
for each site, and validated in terms of hourly NEE measured
with the eddy covariance technique. The overall model
performance of AgroC was sufficient with a model efficiency
above 0.78 and a correlation coefficient above 0.91 for NEE.
In a second step, AgroC was optimized with eddy covariance
NEE measurements to examine the effect of different
objective functions, constraints, and data-transformations
on estimated NEE. It was found that NEE showed a distinct
sensitivity to the choice of objective function and the
inclusion of soil respiration data in the optimization
process. In particular, both positive and negative day and
nighttime fluxes were found to be sensitive to the selected
optimization strategy. Additional consideration of soil
respiration measurements improved the simulation of small
positive fluxes remarkably. Even though the model
performance of the selected optimization strategies did not
diverge substantially, the resulting cumulative NEE over
simulation time period differed substantially. Therefore, it
is concluded that data-transformations, definitions of
objective functions, and data sources have to be considered
cautiously when a terrestrial ecosystem model is used to
determine NEE by means of eddy covariance measurements.},
