Site Parameters for Erosion Pools Loss Factors

Notes

The following table describes site parameters containing the fractions of an element pool lost from the eroded material to gaseous and dissolved pools. For each parameter array, the left index is the pool (active, slow, passive, structural, metabolic). The right index is the destination (respired, dissolved).

The sum of the fractions "gaseous + dissolved" (the sum of values referenced by the right index) must not exceed 1.0 for each element in a pool. A sum of zero results in the total amount of the eroded element in the pool being written to the erosion file. Conversely, a sum equal to 1.0 results in the none of the element for the pool being written to the erosion file.

Parameter Descriptions

Parameter Description Units Valid Values Default Values
EFLCU(5,2) Fraction of unlabeled C in the eroded material lost. E.g.: EFLCU(1,1) = fraction of active unlabeled C in the eroded material lost to respiration. EFLCU(1,2) = fraction of active unlabeled C in the eroded material lost to dissolved organic C.   0.0 to 1.0  
EFLCL(5,2) Fraction of labeled C in the eroded material lost.   0.0 to 1.0  
EFLN (5,2) Fraction of organic N in the eroded material lost.   0.0 to 1.0
