The direct assessment of denitrification suffers from a number of problems. A mass balance model is simple and widely accepted to calculate nitrogen (N) loss as a denitrification component. The objective of study was to estimate the potential N loss a denitrification from a tropical paddy in the...

In hydrology, as in a number of diverse fields, there has been an increasing use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as black-box simplified models. This is mainly justified by their ability to model complex non-linear patterns; in addition they can self-adjust and produce a consistent response when...

Associations between bivariate variables relative to the unexplained relationships of height-Dbh (diameter at breast height) models were investigated. Seven permanent sample plots measuring 40m by 250m at Omo Forest Reserve were used to assess the relationships between height and diameter at breast...
