C_input: Estimate carbon input

In SoilManageR: Calculate Soil Management Indicators for Agricultural Practice Assessment

Estimate carbon input

Description

C_input() estimates the carbon (C) input into the soil system per year of a management_df.

Usage

C_input(var_MGMT_data, extended.output = FALSE)

Arguments

var_MGMT_data	a management_df that contains the management information
extended.output	an optional logical value. If FALSE, C input values are aggregated by year. If TRUE, a tibble with daily resolution is returned. Default value is FALSE

Details

The function takes a management_df as input and returns a C input values per year in the management_df.

Alternatively, it can return a tibble with all managememnt operations and their respective C input values.

The functions calculates the C input with the C_input_crops(), C_input_cover_crops() and CN_input_amendments() functions.

Value

• By default, a tibble with C input values (total and by category) by year is returned.

• If extended.output = TRUE, a tibble with all management operations and their respecitve C inputs is returned.

See Also

• calculate_indicators() to calculate all management indicators for a management_df

• calculate_C_input_tibble() a helper function that calculates the C input tibble

• C_input_crops() to calculate C input for crops

• C_input_cover_crops() to calculate C input for cover crops

• CN_input_amendments() to calculate C (and N) inputs for organic amendments

Examples

#example that returns annual C input values
C_input(EXAMPLE_data)

#example that returns a tibble with all operations that have a C input
C_input(EXAMPLE_data, extended.output = TRUE)
