plantgro

Description

Function to compute plant water content given threshold values of soil water potential at which wilting point and permanent wilting point occurs

Usage

plantgro(
  soilpot = micro$soilpot,
  soilmoist = micro$soilmoist,
  plant_temp = micro$soil[, 6],
  root_shallow = 4,
  root_deep = 8,
  temp_thresh = 15,
  growth_delay = 1,
  wilting_point = -200,
  permanent_wilting_point = -1500,
  foodwater = 82
)

Arguments

soilpot	= micro$soilpot, matrix of soil water potential from NicheMapR microclimate model to use for calculations
soilmoist	= micro$soilmoist, matrix of soil moisture to use for calculations
plant_temp	= micro$soil[,6], vector of plant temperature to use for calculations
root_shallow	= 4, shallowest soil node to use when getting average soil moisture/water potential for calculating plant moisture/growth
root_deep	= 4, deepest soil node to use when getting average soil moisture/water potential for calculating plant moisture/growth
temp_thresh	= 15, growth temperature threshold for degree day calculation, °C
growth_delay	= 0, time required for plants to recover after hitting permanent wilting point, days
wilting_point	= -200, soil water potential at wilting point, J/kg
permanent_wilting_point	= -1500, soil water potential at permanent wilting point, J/kg
foodwater	= 82, Maximum water conten of plant, %
