region_nut_balance {GREENeR}

Nutrient balance based in the application of the Geospatial Regression Equation returning the diffuse, land retention, point sources

Description

Computes the basin nutrient balance.

Usage

region_nut_balance(
  catch_data,
  annual_data,
  alpha_p,
  alpha_l,
  sd_coef,
  loc_years,
  atm_coeff = 0.38
)

Arguments

catch_data

data frame. Definition of the topological sequence of catchments.

annual_data

data frame. Sources of nutrient for each year and catchments.

alpha_p

numeric. First model parameter, the basin retention coefficient.

alpha_l

numeric. Second model parameter, the river retention coefficient.

sd_coef

numeric. Third model parameter, fraction of domestic diffuse sources that reaches the stream network.

loc_years

integer. Years in which the model should be executed.

atm_coeff

numeric. A value for atmospheric attenuation coefficient.

Value

One object, a data frame with the basin nutrient balance

Examples

# the data of the TN scenario
data(catch_data_TN)
data(annual_data_TN)
# the parameter to assess the basin model
alpha_p <- 35.09
alpha_l <- 0.02
sd_coef <- 0.2
# year in which the model should be executed
loc_years <- 1990:2018
# Computing the nutrient balance
basin_loads_b <- region_nut_balance(catch_data_TN, annual_data_TN, alpha_p, alpha_l,
sd_coef, loc_years)
