DayCent-Chem Overview Why was DayCent-Chem developed? Biological cycling of nutrients is important to predicting deposition effects on stream/soil chemistry. Management of forests, croplands, and grasslands built into Century. Daily time step. Model of intermediate complexity. History of DayCent, cont’d PHREEQC(pH/Redox/Equilibrium/Carbon) Speciation program to calculate saturation indices and distribution of aqueous species Multi-phase system equilibrium with gas phases (i.e. CO2, O2), minerals, aqueous species, exchange sites. Ion exchange (Gaines-Thomas convention) Surface complexation (g
