management_config: management_config

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

management_config

Description

Prepares management configuration for monthly carbon input allocation.

Usage

management_config(
  management_filepath = NULL,
  plant_monthly_allocation = NULL,
  grain_monthly_allocation = NULL,
  grass_monthly_allocation = NULL,
  manure_monthly_allocation = NULL,
  f_man_humification = 0.12
)

Arguments

management_filepath	Either a filepath to a management template or a data.frame containing management allocation variables.
plant_monthly_allocation	Monthly distribution of plant carbon inputs.
grain_monthly_allocation	Monthly distribution of grain carbon inputs.
grass_monthly_allocation	Monthly distribution of grass carbon inputs.
manure_monthly_allocation	Monthly distribution of manure carbon inputs.
f_man_humification	Fraction of manure already humidified.

Details

This function can be used in two ways: 1. from a management template file or data.frame, such as one exported with 'export_management_template()' 2. by directly providing fixed monthly allocation vectors of length 12.

In the first approach, the user can specify monthly allocation fractions directly in the input file. When no crop rotation is considered, 'plant_monthly_allocation' should be used. When crop rotation is considered, grain and grass allocation fractions can be specified separately.

In the second approach, the user can directly provide monthly allocation vectors of length 12.

Value

A list containing management allocation settings.

Examples

management_config(
f_man_humification=0.192,
plant_monthly_allocation = c(0,0,0,.08,.12,.16,.64,0,0,0,0,0),
 manure_monthly_allocation = c(0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
 )
