An important feature of rice wheat (RW) rotations is the conversion of the soil from aerobic to anaerobic conditions and vice versa, which stimulates N emission ((de)nitrification) especially under current high N application rates. A RW simulation model is needed describing the relevant soil processes under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. In this study a RW rotation model (RIWER) is developed integrating existing crop, water and soil organic matter models that are adapted to perform both under aerobic and anaerobic soil conditions. RIWER simulates total biomass, N uptake, and soil inorganic N content well.
