Description

Calculates flows of soil organic carbon and nitrogen based on the Century model. There are two versions one written in R (Century) and one in C (CenturyC). The C version only runs at weekly timesteps.

Century(LeafL, StemL, RootL, RhizL, smoist, stemp, precip, leachWater,
centuryControl = list(), soilType=5, verbose = FALSE)

CenturyC(LeafL, StemL, RootL, RhizL, smoist, stemp, precip, 
    leachWater, centuryControl = list(), soilType = 5) 

somc(om = 2, cc = 0.5, depth = 0.3, bd=1.3, pp=c(0.01,0.19,0.8))
isom(SC6=0.39, SC7=7.41, SC8=31.2, cc=0.5, depth=0.3, bd=1.3)

Arguments

LeafL

Leaf litter.

StemL

Stem litter.

RootL

Root litter.

RhizL

Rhizome litter.

smoist

Soil moisture (0-1).

stemp

Soil temperature (Celsius).

precip

Precipitation (mm).

leachWater

Leached water.

centuryControl

See centuryParms.

verbose

Only used in the R version for debugging.

soilType

See showSoilType.

function somc

om

organic matter (percent)

cc

carbon content (proportion 0-1) of the om

depth

soil depth (meters)

bd

bulk density (g/cm3)

pp

partition proportion, the firts one is the proportion of the soil organic carbon in microbes, second in slow and third in passive.

function isom

Some arguments are the same as somc

SC6

microbial biomass (Mg/ha)

SC7

slow pool (Mg/ha)

SC8

passive pool (Mg/ha)

Details

Most of the details can be found in the papers by Parton et al. (1987, 1988, 1993)

Function somc can used to set the values of the main soil organic carbon pools. For an application the model would need to be spined (run for a long time).

Function isom is for doing the inverse conversion that somc does.

At this point the R version and the C version will differ slightly. TODO is to fix this. At least part of the reason is that the texture is different.

Value

A list with,

SCs

Soil carbon pools 1-9.

SNs

Soil nitrogen pools 1-9.

MinN

Mineralized nitrogen.

Resp

Soil respiration.
