Nutrient Supply Capacity

Description

Nutrient supply capacity (NSC) is a measure of nutrient dynamics in restored land uses.

Usage

NSC(Nutrient, Control_Nutrient)

Arguments

Nutrient

a vector containing seven values of N (g/kg), P (kg/ha), Fe (ppm), Mn (ppm), Zn (ppm) and Cu (ppm)

Control_Nutrient

a vector of same length containing control or reference values of N (g/kg), P (kg/ha), Fe (ppm), Mn (ppm), Zn (ppm) and Cu (ppm)

Value

Nutrient Supply Capacity
