Description
|
|
cwd_fract
|
dimensionless
|
Ratio of CWD:(CWD + Soil Carbon)
|
|
resp_opt_water
|
dimensionless; range is between 0-1.
|
Optimal soil water for heterotrophic respiration as a fraction of the maximum possible soil water.
|
|
resp_water_below
|
dimensionless
|
Determines the rate at which heterotrophic respiration decays as soil water falls below resp_opt_water.
|
|
resp_water_above
|
dimensionless
|
Determines the rate at which heterotrophic respiration decays as soil water increases above resp_opt_water.
|
|
resp_temperature_increase
|
1/K
|
Determines how rapidly heterotrophic respiration increases with increasing temperature.
|
|
N_immobil_supply_scale
|
1/day
|
Supply coefficient for nitrogen immobilization.
|
|
r_fsc
|
Dimensionless; ranges between 0-1.
|
Fraction of the fast soil carbon pool going to heterotrophic respiration.
|
|
r_stsc
|
Dimensionless; ranges between 0-1.
|
Fraction of the structural soil carbon pool going to heterotrophic respiration (instead of to the slow pool).
|
|
r_ssc
|
Dimensionless; ranges between 0-1.
|
Fraction of the slow soil carbon pool going to heterotrophic respiration.
|
|
K1
|
1/day
|
structural soil carbon decomposition rate
|
|
K2
|
1/day
|
fast soil carbon decomposition rate
|
|
K3
|
1/day
|
slow soil carbon decomposition rate
|
|
N_decomp_lim
|
flag equal to 0 or 1.
|
Set to 1 if you want decomposition to be limited by nitrogen.
