The CENTURY modelcapturing both plant production and environmental 
concerns related to nutrient budgeting (Parton et al., 1994; Parton & Rassmussen 
1994), was developed to model the movement of soil organic matter and nutrient 
dynamics in the environment using plant-soil relationships for different types of 
ecosystems including grasslands, agricultural lands, forests and savanna. CENTURY 
simulates the growth of various crops, grasses and trees. Different crop, grass and forest 
systems are distinguished by varying the parameters that control maximum growth 
rate, C allocation among plant parts and the C/N ratios of plant parts. Parameters in 
the equations that account for shading, water and temperature limitations, maximum 
plant growth rate, ranges of C/N ratios for plant compartments, etc. can be adjusted to 
reflect the physiological properties of various vegetation types and particular species of 
grasses, crops or trees. Biomass can be removed or transferred to other organic matter 
pools such as litter by disturbance events such as harvesting, grazing, plowing, burning, 
clear cutting. Disturbance events affect both the quantity and nutrient concentration of 
litter that supplies the soil organic matter pool.
The CENTURY model uses inputs of precipitation, maximum and minimum 
temperature, soil type, and current as well as historical land use information to simulate 
changes in C, N, P, S and biomass production on a monthly time step. CENTURY 
includes submodels for plant growth, decomposition of dead plant material and SOM, 
and soil water and temperature dynamics. Plant growth is limited by soil water content
temperature, and nutrient availability. Carbon and nutrients are allocated among leaf, 
woody, and root biomass based on vegetation type and nutrient availability. Transfer 
rates of C and nutrients from dead plant material to the soil organic matter and 
available nutrient pools are controlled by the lignin concentration and C/N ratio of the 
material, decomposition factors based on temperature and soil water, and soil physical 
properties related to texture. 
Three soil organic matter (SOM) pools are considered in the SOM submodel: 
active SOM, slow SOM and passive SOM. The active SOM pool has a rapid turnover 
time (0.5–1year), and includes dead plant material with low C/N ratios and low 
proportions of lignin, microbial biomass and the highly labile by-products of microbial 
metabolism. Active SOM is converted into CO
2
, inorganic forms of nutrients and 
slow SOM. The slow SOM pool has intermediate turnover rates (10–50 years), and 
includes material with high C/N ratios and high lignin contents and the microbial 
by-products that are moderately resistant to further decomposition. The passive SOM 
pool has a very slow turnover rate (1000–5000 years), and consists of material that is 
extremely resistant to further breakdown. An important product of decomposition is 
CO
2
. Finer textured soils retain more organic matter in stable forms due to chemical 
and physical protection. The available nutrient pool (NO
3
, NH
4
, P, S) is supplied by 
decomposition of SOM, biological N fixation, and external nutrient additions such as 
fertilization and atmospheric N deposition. The proportions of SOM in the respective 
pools, and soil water, temperature, and texture determine the rate of nutrient supply 
from decomposition. Available nutrients are distributed among soil layers under the

assumption that the concentrations of mineral N and SOM are highest near the soil 
surface and decline exponentially with depth. 
The CENTURY model is an integrated model that captures. Other models that deal 
with carbon sequestration on agricultural land are CQESTR (Rickman et al., 2001) and 
the Roth-C model (Coleman and Jenkinson 1999).
