  • This MATLAB© script runs the Rothamsted Carbon (RothC) Model. This script can be used to model Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock for land use transitions between crops and also between crops and forest land use classes (and vice-versa). The required inputs are: Land use class (the list of land use classes is available in Morais et al. (2019)) LU classes between 1 and 63 correspond to crops LU classes higher than 63 correspond to forest and grassland Initial SOC stock (t C/ha) Clay content (%) DPM/RPM ratio (-) Initial SOC stock division between (t C/ha): DPM RPM Hum Bio IOM Monthly average temperature (oC) Monthly accumulated precipitation (mm) Monthly evapotranspiration (mm) Irrigation requirements (mm) Land cover period (1 if soil is covered and 0 if soil in bare) Manure application (t C/ha) Manure application distribution between months (%/month) Crop yield (if forest land use class – it is equal to zero) (t/ha) Residues distribution between months (%/months) Forest residues generation (if crop land use class – it is equal to zero) (t C/ha) This script was produced by Tiago Morais (tiago.g.morais@tecnico.ulsiboa.pt or morais.tiago92@gmai.com).
