ADEFAC - Average annual value of DEFAC, the decomposition factor which combines the effects of temperature and moisture. Expected values are 0.1-0.2 for C3 grasslands, 0.4 for temperate deciduous forests, and 0.9 for tropical forests. Range allowed is 0.01 - 1.20.

ANERB - The effect of soil anaerobic conditions on decomposition; used as a multiplier on all belowground decomposition flows.

ASMOS(1) through ASMOS(9) - Soil water content of soil layers 1 through 9 (cm H2O).

ASMOS(10) - Soil water content in deep storage layer (cm H2O).

AVH2O(1) - Water available to plants for growth in rooting depth of the soil profile (sum of layers 1 through NLAYPG) (cm H2O).

AVH2O(2) - Water available to plants for survival in soil profile (sum of all layers in profile, 1 through NLAYER ) (cm H2O).

AVH2O(3) - Water available to plants for growth in the soil layers comprising the simulation depth, SIMDEPTH (cm H2O).
