A model (ROTATE) of the nitrogen (N) cycle during the tree and crop phases of fallow systems [Robertson, 1994] was used to determine the primary factors influencing longterm crop yields. The model simulated the expected patterns of increase in old (recalcitrant) soil organic N during tree rotations...
