This article evaluates the suitability of the ECOSSE model to estimate soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from short rotation coppice willow (SRC‐Willow), short rotation forestry (SRF‐Scots Pine) andMiscanthusafter land‐use change from conventional systems (grassland and arable). We simulate heterotrophic respiration (Rh), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) fluxes at four paired sites in the UK and compare them to estimates ofRhderived from the ecosystem respiration estimated from eddy covariance (EC) andRhestimated from chamber (IRGA) measurements, as well as direct measurements of N2O and CH4fluxes. Significant association between modelled and EC‐derivedRhwas found underMiscanthus, with correlation coefficient (r) ranging between 0.54 and 0.70. Association between IRGA‐derivedRhand modelled outputs was statistically significant at the Aberystwyth site (r=0.64), but not significant at the Lincolnshire site (r=0.29). At all SRC‐Willow sites, significant association was found between modelled and measurement‐derivedRh(0.44 ≤r≤0.77); significant error was found only for the EC‐derivedRhat the Lincolnshire site. Significant association and no significant error were also found for SRF‐Scots Pine and perennial grass. For the arable fields, the modelled CO2correlated well just with the IRGA‐derivedRhat one site (r=0.75). No bias in the model was found at any site, regardless of the measurement type used for the model evaluation. Across all land uses, fluxes of CH4and N2O were shown to represent a small proportion of the total GHG balance; these fluxes have been modelled adequately on a monthly time‐step. This study provides confidence in using ECOSSE for predicting the impacts of future land use on GHG balance, at site level as well as at national level.
