Soil organic carbon turnover parameters by model.
Source:R/datasets_balances.R
soc_turnover_params.RdPer-model structural parameters for the five soil organic carbon turnover models ported in Module B: HSOC (Spain two-pool plus inert organic matter), RothC (five pools), ICBM (two pools), AMG (active plus stable), and Century (five pools). Stored in long form so a builder can assemble each model's pool rate constants, initial pool fractions, inter-pool transfer fractions, and texture/lignin defaults. Climate rate modifiers are model-native and live in the turnover functions, not in this table.
Format
A tibble in long form with columns:
- model
Model namespace: one of
"hsoc","rothc","icbm","amg","century".- component
Pool or structural component the parameter belongs to (e.g.
"fresh","dpm","young","active","str","defaults").- parameter
Parameter name (e.g.
"decomposition_rate","init_active_fraction","transfer_fraction","base_rate_weekly").- value
Numeric parameter value.
- unit
Unit of the value (e.g.
"per_year","fraction","per_week").- description
Human-readable description of the parameter.
