export_management_template: export_management_template

In rCTOOL: Soil Organic Carbon Turnover Modelling with 'C-TOOL'

export_management_template

Description

Exports a template that can be used to provide management inputs for the model. The exported file includes monthly allocation variables and carbon input columns initialized with zeros, so they can be filled by the user before being read by the model.

Usage

export_management_template(yr_start, yr_end, filepath)

Arguments

yr_start	Initial simulation year.
yr_end	Final simulation year.
filepath	Filepath where management template will be exported.

Details

Users should keep only the columns relevant to their workflow and avoid double accounting among allocation variables. For example, when 'plant_monthly_allocation' is used, grain and grass allocation columns should not be used simultaneously.

If monthly carbon inputs are provided directly, additional allocation columns may not be needed. These consistency checks are not enforced automatically and must be handled by the user when preparing the input file.

Value

The exported template as a data.frame.

Examples

path <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")
export_management_template(2006, 2010, path)
