`LWFBrook90R` provides an implementation of the Soil Vegetation Atmosphere
Transport (SVAT) model
[LWF-BROOK90](https://www.lwf.bayern.de/boden-klima/wasserhaushalt/index.php)
(Hammel & Kennel, 2001) written in Fortran. The model simulates daily
transpiration, interception, soil and snow evaporation, streamflow and soil
water fluxes through a soil profile covered with vegetation. A set of high-level
functions for model set up, execution and parallelization provide easy access to
plot-level SVAT simulations, as well as multi-run and large-scale applications.

## Installation

You can install the released version of LWFBrook90R from [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org) with:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("LWFBrook90R")
```

and the development version can be installed from [Github](https://github.com/pschmidtwalter/LWFBrook90R) using the package `remotes`:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
remotes::install_github(repo="pschmidtwalter/LWFBrook90R", build_vignettes = TRUE) 
```

## Usage

Below is basic example. For more complex examples take a look at the
packages vignettes with `browseVignettes("LWFBrook90R")`.

The main function `run_LWFB90()` creates the model input from model control
options, parameters, climate and soil data and returns the simulation
results.

```{r}
# load package and sample data
library(LWFBrook90R)
data(slb1_meteo, slb1_soil)

# set up default model control options and parameters
opts <- set_optionsLWFB90()
parms <- set_paramLWFB90()

# Derive soil hydraulic properties from soil physical properties 
# using a pedotransfer function: 
soil <- cbind(slb1_soil, hydpar_wessolek_tab(texture = slb1_soil$texture))

# run the model and capture results
lwfb90_res <- run_LWFB90(options_b90 = opts,
                         param_b90 = parms,
                         climate = slb1_meteo,
                         soil = soil)

```

Plot results

```{r,echo = FALSE, fig.height=4, fig.width=7}
oldpar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)

dates <- with(lwfb90_res$output, as.Date(paste(yr, mo, da, sep = "-")))
par(mar = c(2,4.1,1,4.1))
plot(dates,lwfb90_res$output$evap, 
     col = "green", type = 'l', ylim = c(0,7),
     xlab = "", ylab = "Evapotranspiration [mm]")
par(new=TRUE)
plot(dates, lwfb90_res$output$swat, type = "l", 
     col = "blue", ylim = c(200,500), 
     yaxt = "n", xaxt = "n", ylab = "", xlab = "")
axis(4,pretty(c(200,500)))
mtext("Soil water storage [mm]", side = 4, line =3)
legend("left", legend = c("ET", "Swat"),
       col = c("green", "blue"),  lty = 1, 
       bty = "n")
par(oldpar)
```

## Contributions

Implementations of further methods for creating model input (e.g. leaf area
dynamics, root depth density distributions, pedotransfer functions) and other
improvements are highly welcome.

Tony Federer’s original [Brook90](http://www.ecoshift.net/brook/b90doc.html)
Fortran 77 code (Brook90\_v3.1F, License: CC0) was enhanced by Klaus Hammel and
Martin Kennel at Bavarian State Institute of Forestry (LWF) around the year
2000. Since then, LWF-BROOK90 is distributed by
[LWF](https://www.lwf.bayern.de/boden-klima/wasserhaushalt/index.php) upon
request as a pre-compiled Fortran command line program together with an MS
Access User Interface. In 2019, Volodymyr Trotsiuk converted the Fortran 77 code
to Fortran 95 and implemented the connection to R. Paul Schmidt-Walter’s
`brook90r` (Schmidt-Walter, 2018) package for LWF-Brook90 input
data generation, model execution and result processing was adapted and extended
to control this interface function.

## License

GPL-3 for all Fortran and R code. `brook90r` has GPL-3, while LWF-Brook90
was without license until recently. Lothar Zimmermann and Stephan Raspe
(LWF), and all previous Fortran contributors agreed to assign GPL-3 to the
Fortran code.
