Application of the SMART2 model to a forested catchment in Finland: comparison to the SMART model and effects of emission reduction scenarios
SMART2, an extended version of the dynamic soil acidification model SMART, was tested with data from a forested catchment in Finland. The catchment belongs to the network of the Integrated Monitoring Programme and is situated in North Karelia (Eastern Finland). The aim of the study was to predict th...
