Description

Deterministic model estimating daily biological nitrogen fixation as a function of plant nitrogen demand, phenological development, soil water availability, and soil nitrate concentration. Nitrogen fixation is constrained by growth stage, soil moisture in the upper soil profile, and nitrate availability in the root zone. The model operates at daily time steps and integrates physiological and soil constraints relevant to legume crops.
