Carbon
Input files for setting up the carbon model using SWAT+
The following input files are the minimum requirements to set up the carbon model using SWAT+
Basin (codes.bsn, parameters.bsn)
Files include control codes for basin-level processes simulation and basin-level parameters, respectively
Carbon Coefficients (carb_coefs.cbn)
Coefficients needed to simulate the carbon fluxes (optional; if not present, default values will be used)
Climate (weather-sta.cli, weather-wgn.cli, pcp.cli, tmp.cli, slr.cli, hmd.cli, wnd.cli, atmo.cli)
Files list the weather stations and weather data for model input
Databases (plants.plt, urban.urb, tillage.til, fertilizer.frt, pesticide.pes, septic.sep)
SWAT+ database for plants, landuse, tillage, fertilizer and manure, pesticides, and septic systems, respectively
HRU (hru-data.hru, topography.hyd, hydrology.hyd, field.fld, snow.sno)
Files contain the site-specific topographical and hydrological properties of HRUs
Landuse and Management (landuse.lum,
plant.ini, management.sch,cntable.lum, cons_prac.lum, ovn_table.lum)
Files contain landuse information, management operations, and schedules necessary for crop growth
Files list the names of all input files used in a simulation run
Soils (soils.sol, soil_lyr_depths.sol, nutrients.sol)
Files contain physical soil properties, customized soil layer depth, contents of nutrients and constituents as initialized in the file soil_plant.ini.
Structural Practices (tiledrain.str, filterstrip.str, grassedww.str, bmpuser.str, septic.str)
Files contain parameters related to structural practices
Simulation (time.sim, print.prt, object.prt)
Files control simulation time, and output files will be printed during the simulation
**To view carbon-specific outputs, the following objects should be added to the print.prt file :
hru_cb (Carbon balance HRU outputs)
hru_cb_vars (Carbon balance HRU output variables)
