| 107 | 107 | The soil model consists of prognostic equations for the soil temperature and the volumetric soil moisture which are solved for multiple layers. The soil model only takes into account vertical transport within the soil and no ice phase is considered. By default, the soil model consists of four layers, in which the vertical heat and water transport is modelled using the Fourier law of diffusion and Richards' equation, respectively. Also, root fractions can be assigned to each soil layer to account for the explicit water withdrawal of plants used for transpiration from the respective soil layer. |
