NUEsoil {NUETON}R Documentation

Calculate NUEsoil

Description

The biomass production per unit of available N. Calculate NUEsoil using the formula: NUEsoil = PlantBM / (FertN + SoilN)

Usage

NUEsoil(PlantBM, SoilN, FertN)

Arguments

PlantBM

A numeric vector of values for plant biomass.

SoilN

A numeric value for soil N content.

FertN

A numeric value for fertilizer N input.

Value

The calculated NUEsoil value.
