MEMC supported SOM flux dynamics

Description

These identifiers correspond to the various dynamics users can select from when setting up a model configuration using the memc_configure function.

Dynamics

The MEMC package allows users to select the dynamics used for DOMuptake, POMdecomp, and MBdecay from the following list:

MM

Michaelis–Menten kinetics

RMM

Reverse Michaelis-Menten kinetics, as in (Schimel and Weintraub, 2003) and (Sulman et al. 2014)

ECA

Equilibrium Chemistry Approximation, based on RESOM (Tang and Riley, 2014)

DD

Density Dependent decomposition (only applicable for MB decay)

LM

Linear odel, as in (Robertson et al. 2019)
