Century Model

The CENTURY Model is a general model of plant-soil nutrient cycling which has been used to simulate carbon and nutrient dynamics for different types of ecosystems, including grasslands, agricultural lands, forests and savannas. Century is a monthly time-step model and is no longer under active development. Therefore, we will not be able to provide any support for Century. DayCent is a daily time-step version of Century, which is being continuously improved - learn more here.

Downloads are currently available to researchers at academic or nonprofit institutions for research use only (Century is not currently available for commercial use). To access the model and download the executable and associated files, please acknowledge the Terms of Use and you will be directed to a download page.
