In HannesDeDeurwaerder/SWIFT: SWIFT: Tracking stable water isotopic fluctuation along the length of a plant

Description

Multiple functions for tracking stable water isotopic fluctuations and variance along the lenght of a plant using the SWIFT model. Function SWIFT_SB and SWIFT_H can respectively be used to calculate the isotopic signature over time at the stem base of the plant, or at a by the user defined height and time. Additional functions are SoilRootCond, PSI0calc and Bprep which in this order help the user to define (i) the soil to root conductivity for every defined soil layer, (ii) the water potential at stem base for every timestep, and (iii) the root length distribution for every defined soil layer.

Index: This package was not yet installed at build time.
The SWIFT model contains multipe functions that will help the user to track and understand stable water isotopic fluctuations within the transport tissue of a plant. The central functions SWIFT_SB and SWIFT_H provide isotopic signatures at (i) the stem base throughout the entire study time and (ii) at a height and timing definined by the user, respectively. Additional functions are SoilRootCond, PSI0calc and Bprep, which in this order help the user to define (i) the soil to root conductivity for every defined soil layer, (ii) the water potential at stem base for every timestep, and (iii) the root length distribution for every defined soil layer.
