The module 50_nr_soil_budget balances the nitrogen flows for crop land soils and pasture soils and calculates the resulting demand for inorganic fertilizer and associated costs.

This realization calculates the nitrogen balance for crop land and pasture land using exogenous uptake efficiencies. Several scenarios are available for the efficiency.
For cropland the equation q50_nr_bal_crp
balances the withdrawls (see below) with the share of all incoming fluxes that can be uptaken by the crop land. Since all other inflows except vm_nr_inorg_fert_reg
are given (by other modules) this equation defines the amount of inorganic fertilizer required.
Withdrawls from crop land consist of nitrogen that can not be fixed by crop production or by residues (above and below ground), less the nitrogen inflow from seeds.
\[\begin{multline*} v50\_nr\_withdrawals(i2,kcr) = \left(1-\sum_{ct}f50\_nr\_fix\_ndfa(ct,i2,kcr)\right) \cdot \left(vm\_prod\_reg(i2,kcr) \cdot fm\_attributes("nr",kcr) + vm\_res\_biomass\_ag(i2,kcr,"nr") + vm\_res\_biomass\_bg(i2,kcr,"nr")\right) - vm\_dem\_seed(i2,kcr) \cdot fm\_attributes("nr",kcr) \end{multline*}\]For pasture land the equation q50_nr_bal_pasture
balances nitrogen discharge from pasture production with the share of all inflows that can be uptaken by pasture land such as manure, plant fixation, and atmospheric deposition. In contrast to crop land where the nitrogen fixation rates are crop specific (applied to ton dry matter of crops produces) for paste the fixation rates are given per area. Again, this equation defines the amount of inorganic fertilizer required (vm_nr_inorg_fert_reg
), since all other influxes are given (by other modules).
For both crop land and pasture land, this equation gives the amount of nitrogen deposited from the atmosphere.
\[\begin{multline*} v50\_nr\_deposition(i2,land) = \sum_{cell(i2,j2)}\left(ic50\_atmospheric\_deposition\_rates(i2,land) \cdot vm\_land(j2,land)\right) \end{multline*}\]Having calculated the amount of nitrogen fertilizer required (see above) now the resulting cost are derived. They are part of the objective function.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_nr\_inorg\_fert\_costs(i2) = \sum_{land\_ag}vm\_nr\_inorg\_fert\_reg(i2,land\_ag) \cdot s50\_fertilizer\_costs \end{multline*}\]Limitations There are no known limitations.
This realization sets the demand for inorganic fertilizer and associated costs to zero.
