SLIM - Model for soilwater, root growth and nitrogen WIKI_START == Overview == This package contains sim components that implements algorithms from the SLIM model. Some sim components altered the original algorithms (improvements, compatibility with other sim components). See sim component documentation for details. WIKI_END

    Description
    ImprovedSoilWater.java is derived from SlimWater.java as a SimComponent for transient simulations of soil water balance of a multiple layer soil profile.
    WIKI_START === Symbiotic N fixation === N fixation is controlled by `cNFIXF`, the fraction of daily N uptake by fixation.
    Calculates crop uptake, turnover, leaching of soil mineral nitrogen (Nitrate-N and Ammonium-N) in layered soils WIKI_START The routines for this SimComponent are taken from the SLIM model (Addiscott & Whitmore, 1991).
    Please use SlimNitrogen SimComponent.
    SlimRoots.java is a SimComponent for the simulation of the growth of seminal and lateral roots in a multiple layer soil profile WIKI_START The SimComponent SlimRoots estimates the daily increase in the biomass of seminal and lateral roots in a variable number of soil layers based and converts it into root length per layer.
    SlimWater.java is a routine for transient simulations of soil water balance of a multiple layer soil profile WIKI_START The SimComponent SlimWater estimates the daily change in soil water content in a variable number of soil layers based on the volumes of crop water uptake, soil evaporation, surface run-off and seepage below the root zone.
