Management Events


The following list describes the management events that are currently available. The event mnuemonic is used in Century 5 only for reference purposes.

Mneumonic Action Additional Information Century 5 Only?




CROP Designates which crop is to be grown. Crop mneumonic from the crop parameter file.  
CULT Schedule a cultivation event. Cultivation mneumonic from the cultivation parameter file.  
DEPO Schedule a deposition event. Reads the deposition amount from the erosion file created in a previous simulation. None.
Yes
EROD Schedule an erosion event. If an erosion file is specified in the simulation management, erosion amounts will be written to that file. This file can then be used for deposition in subsequent simulations. Amount of soil to be lost in kg m-2 month-1. A second optional value specifies the enrichment factor. The enrichment factor is available only in version 5.
EXTR Schedule an external event. The use of this event is determined by the particular implementation of the CENTURY model. The external event is implemented at end of the time step. Optional string to be passed to the external function. Yes
FERT Schedule a fertilization event. Fertilization mneumonic from the fertilization parameter file.  
FIRE Schedule a fire event. Fire mneumonic from the fire parameter file.  
FRST First month of growth for crops. None.  
GRAZ Schedule a grazing event. Grazing mneumonic from the grazing parameter file  
HARV Schedule a harvest event. Harvesting automatically schedules a last month of growth (LAST) event. Harvest mneumonic from harvest parameter file.  
IRRI Schedule an irrigation event. Irrigation mneumonic from the irrigation parameter file.  
LAST Last month of growth for crops. None.  
OMAD Schedule organic matter addition. Organic matter addition mneumonic from the organic matter addition parameter file.  
PLTM Month in which the current crop is planted. None.  
SENM Month of senescence for crops. None.  
TFST First month of growth for a forest. None.  
TLST Last month of growth for a forest. None.  
TREE Designates which tree type is to be grown. Tree mneumonic from the tree parameter file.  
TREM Schedule a tree removal event. Tree removal mneumonic from tree removal parameter file.
