Dinitial {CropWaterBalance}

Soil Water Deficit in the Root Zone

Description

Estimates initial values for soil water deficit. Required to initiate the water balance accounting.

Usage

Dinitial(teta_FC, teta_Obs, Drz)

Arguments

teta_FC

Soil water content for the effective root zone at the field capacity m3/m3

teta_Obs

Soil water content for the effective root zone at the wilting point m3/m3

Drz

Vector, 1-column matrix or data frame defining the root zone depth in metres.

Value

Initial soil water deficit in the root zone (millimetres).

Examples

teta_FC <- 0.30
teta_Obs <- 0.17
Drz <- 0.3048
Dinitial(teta_FC = teta_FC, teta_Obs = teta_Obs, Drz = Drz)
