soil_pool_decomposition: soil_pool_decomposition

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

soil_pool_decomposition

Description

Calculate temperature-modified decomposition of a soil carbon pool.

Usage

soil_pool_decomposition(
  soil_pool,
  k,
  soil_depth,
  month,
  t_avg,
  amplitude,
  s_config
)

Arguments

soil_pool	Carbon amount in the soil pool.
k	First-order decomposition rate constant.
soil_depth	Soil layer thickness in cm. In the default C-TOOL configuration, the model operates with two fixed layers: topsoil (25 cm) and subsoil (100 cm).
month	Month index from 1 to 12.
t_avg	Monthly mean air temperature.
amplitude	Historical annual temperature amplitude previously calculate from the monthly temperature series.
s_config	Soil parameter configuration.

Value

Carbon change in the pool due to temperature-modified first-order decomposition.
