4 | | This page describes the work done to include the phosphorus cycle into ORCHIDEE. It is based on MERGE-OCN, which was extended and corrected as described here: https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/wiki/Branches/MergeOCN/Goll as well as a recruitment routine by S. Peng (ask him if you need infos) |

8 | | == modularisation of code used by nitrogen and phosphorus routines == |
9 | | There are many aspects which the nutrient cycles have in common, for example root uptake kinetics, stoichiometric considerations, etc. To avoid the risks of introducing inconsistencies and redundant code, I started to write subroutines which are listed in the following. All subroutines are in stomate_phosphorus.f90. |

| 5 | It is based on ORCHIDEE-CN, which was extended and corrected as described here: https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/wiki/Branches/MergeOCN/Goll as well as additional non-documented bugfixes to avoid negative pools due to machine precisions as well as bugs. |

| 7 | The phosphorus cycle is an adaptation of the the model described by http://www.biogeosciences.net/9/3547/2012/bg-9-3547-2012.html . Nonetheless, the complexity was substantially increased due to the more detailed representation of the C and N cycle in ORCHIDEE compared to JSBACH. |

| 14 | There are aspects which the nutrient cycles have in common, for example root uptake kinetics, stoichiometric considerations, etc. To avoid the risks of introducing inconsistencies and reduce redundant code, I introduced the following subroutines. All subroutines are in stomate_phosphorus.f90. |

| 24 | === 2.1 soil mineral N concentration in soil solution === |
| 25 | Following Smith et al (2014), I introduced the use of the maximum water holding capacity of soils (max_var_eau) to approximate pore space which to derive the average soil mineral N concentration in solution. The use of the actual water volume can not be recommended as we this would lead to high N concentration in soil water when soil water is very low. As we do not account for the inhibition of replenishment of mineral N in the soil solution around roots when soil water is scarce. |

| 27 | === 2.2 Biological N2 fixation (BNF) === |
| 28 | We introduce a module which computes BNF as a function of NPP, tissue C:N, and tissue & N:P. This approach is based on Cleveland et al (1999), Thornton et al. (2007), and Goll et al. (2012). |
