Fertilization Parameters


AUFERT - Key for automatic fertilization:

AUFERT = 0.0: No automatic fertilization.

AUFERT < 1.0: Automatic fertilizer may be applied to remove some nutrient stress without increasing nutrient concentration above the minimum level; the value of AUFERT is the fraction of potential C production (temperature and moisture limited) which will be maintained.

AUFERT > 1.0: Automatic fertilizer may be applied to remove nutrient stress and increase nutrient concentrations above the minimum level; a value of AUFERT between 1.0 and 2.0 determines the extent to which nutrient concentration is maintained between the minimum and maximum levels.

AUFERT = 2.0: Automatic fertilizer may be applied to remove nutrient stress and increase nutrient concentrations to the maximum level.
