218: Implementation of a two-pool C14 model with parallel...
In SoilR: Models of Soil Organic Matter Decomposition

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

This function creates a model for two independent (parallel) pools. It is a wrapper for the more general function GeneralModel_14 that can handle an arbitrary number of pools.

`t`	A vector containing the points in time where the solution is sought. It must be specified within the same period for which the Delta 14 C of the atmosphere is provided. The default period in the provided dataset `C14Atm_NH` is 1900-2010.
`ks`	A vector of length 2 containing the decomposition rates for the 2 pools.
`C0`	A vector of length 2 containing the initial amount of carbon for the 2 pools.
`F0_Delta14C`	A vector of length 2 containing the initial amount of the fraction of radiocarbon for the 2 pools as Delta14C values in per mil.
`In`	A scalar or a data.frame object specifying the amount of litter inputs by time.
`gam`	A scalar representing the partitioning coefficient, i.e. the proportion from the total amount of inputs that goes to pool 1.
`xi`	A scalar or a data.frame specifying the external (environmental and/or edaphic) effects on decomposition rates.
`inputFc`	A Data Frame object containing values of atmospheric Delta14C per time. First column must be time values, second column must be Delta14C values in per mil.
`lambda`	Radioactive decay constant. By default lambda=-0.0001209681 y^-1 . This has the side effect that all your time related data are treated as if the time unit was year.
`lag`	A positive scalar representing a time lag for radiocarbon to enter the system.
`solver`	A function that solves the system of ODEs. This can be `euler` or `ode` or any other user provided function with the same interface.
`pass`	if TRUE Forces the constructor to create the model even if it is invalid
