Hello --
 
Much of Dr. Ritchie's work has dealt with different parts of the water
balance compents of the CERES/CROPGRO models.  You might want to look at
his reference list at:

>Crop processes of the CERES models, such as phenology, yield, DM
>accumulation and N uptake, have been tested by quite a few number of
>studies. But, I found only a small number of experimental validations for
>the soil processes submodels, including the N transformation, N leaching,
>water balance and temperature submodels. A list of the references is as
>below.
>  Does anyone know other references which tested soil processes submodels
>of the CERES models?
