Grazing Parameters


FDGREM - Fraction of standing dead removed by a grazing event.

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

FECF(1) - Fraction of excreted N which goes into faeces (rest goes into urine).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

FECF(2) - Fraction of excreted P which goes into faeces (rest goes into urine).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

FECF(3) - Fraction of excreted S which goes into faeces (rest goes into urine).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

FECLIG - Lignin content of faeces.

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

FLGREM - Fraction of live shoots removed by a grazing event.

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

GFCRET - Fraction of consumed C which is excreted in faeces and urine.

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

GRET(1) - Fraction of consumed N which is excreted in faeces and urine (should take into account N losses due to leaching or volatilization from the manure).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

GRET(2) - Fraction of consumed P which is excreted in faeces and urine (should take into account P losses due to leaching or volatilization from the manure).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

GRET(3) - Fraction of consumed S which is excreted in faeces and urine (should take into account S losses due to leaching or volatilization from the manure).

Valid Range: 0.0 to 1.0

GRZEFF - Effect of grazing on production:

0 = grazing has no direct effect on production

1 = linear impact on aboveground production

2 = quadratic impact on aboveground production and root/shoot ratio

3 = quadratic impact on root/shoot ratio

4 = linear impact on root/shoot ratio

5 = quadratic impact on aboveground production and linear impact on root/shoot ratio

6 = linear impact on aboveground production and root/shoot ratio

Valid Values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
