Global Land Nitrogen Budget (N) – Model Intercomparison Project (MIP)
NMIP-1: global Nitrogen/N2O Model Inter-comparison Project phase 1 Protocol
The N2O Model Intercomparison Project (NMIP) aims at understanding and quantifying the budgets of global and regional terrestrial N2O fluxes, environmental controls, and uncertainties associated with input data, model structure, and parameters.
