C-TOOL version 1.1. A tool for simulation of soil carbon turnover. Description and users guide

摘要: The program C-TOOL (v. 1.1) can enhance SOM model development by aiding the construction, revision and testing of soil carbon turnover models. Models be created directly, without aid programmers. use any time step between one day year, run either for a predefined period or continue until specified steady-level criterions pools are reached. Development in content at desired span simulated. Simulation isotopes 13C 14C is facilitated, it possible to simulate specific isotope tagging order investigate flow properties implemented model. Standard driving variables temperature (in air soil), water (either absolute content, relative pressure potential) amount, type application date input soil. All settings performed through ascii-files, not screen dialogs.
