Long-form lookup of the discrete factor tables of the MANNER ammonia volatilisation model. Each row gives one factor, identified by its table (category), the lookup key (key) and, where the table is two-dimensional, a second key (sub_key). The tables are: the per-fertiliser maximum ammonia-loss ceiling (max_nh3); the soil-pH factor for synthetic fertiliser (ph, sub-keyed by pH band); the incorporation / land-use factor (incorporation); the manure application-technique factor (technique); the wind-speed factor (windspeed); and the combined rainfall-by-wetness factor (rainfall_wet). Continuous fertiliser-rate, temperature and rainfall response surfaces are computed in the MANNER function and are not part of this table.

Usage

manner_params

Format

A tibble with columns:

category

Factor table: one of "max_nh3", "ph", "incorporation", "technique", "windspeed", "rainfall_wet".

key

Primary lookup key (fertiliser, technique, wind-speed class, or rainfall-wetness class).

sub_key

Secondary lookup key (pH band for the ph table); NA for one-dimensional tables.

factor

Numeric multiplicative factor.
