Fixation soil nitrate equation

nitrate control of nitrogen fixation

deterministic formula, dimensional formula, discrete-time formula, dynamic formula, formula, nonlinear formula

Description

These equations describe inhibition of biological nitrogen fixation by mineral nitrate in the root zone. Fixation is fully allowed at low nitrate levels, partially reduced at intermediate nitrate concentrations, and completely suppressed when nitrate exceeds a threshold. The formulation reflects physiological feedback where external nitrate reduces symbiotic nitrogen fixation activity.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$F X N_{i} = {\begin{matrix} 0.0 & if & \frac{W N O 3_{i}}{R D_{i}} > 300 \frac{k g}{h a m} \\ 1.5 - 0.005 \frac{W N O 3_{i}}{R D_{i}} & if & 100 \frac{k g}{h a m} < \frac{W N O 3_{i}}{R D_{i}} \leq 300 \frac{k g}{h a m} \\ 1.0 & if & \frac{W N O 3_{i}}{R D_{i}} \leq 100 \frac{k g}{h a m} \end{matrix}$
$F X N$ represents nitrogen fixation soil nitrate factor
$R D$ represents rooting depth
$W N O 3$ represents soil nitrate content in root zone
