API reference for soil modules

The soil module is one of the component models of the Virtual Ecosystem. It is comprised of a number of submodules.

Each of the soil sub-modules has its own API reference page:

• The soil_model submodule instantiates the SoilModel class which consolidates the functionality of the soil module into a single class, which the high level functions of the Virtual Ecosystem can then make use of.

• The pools provides functionality to track all soil pools over time.

• The env_factors provides functions that capture the impact of environmental factors on microbial rates.

• The microbial_groups provides the microbial functional groups used in the soil model.

• The uptake provides the functionality related to microbial carbon/nutrient uptake.

• The model_config submodule provides configuration options for the model along with constants required by the broader soil model.
