Predicting Mineral N Release during Decomposition of Organic Wastes in Soil by Use of the SOILN_NO Model

<table>Simulated and observed  NO<sub>3</sub> <sup>−</sup>-N leaching [g N m<sup>−2</sup>] (accumulated values) from the control treated (only NPK Fertilizer) lysimeters. The SOILN_NO model is calibrated to match the observed values by adjusting the initial amounts of C and N in the soil organic matter pools litter 1, litter 2, and humus.</table>
