Short summary
Nitrogen and carbon cycle have manifold interactions and to be able predict carbon sequestration of terrestrial vegetation, ability to model nitrogen cycle properly is important. 15N tracer experiments can be helpful, as they track the fate where added nitrogen will end up in the ecosystem. We simulated one such experiment with a model containing 15N cycle and found that comparison with data helped to evaluate the model in different aspects.
