Recovery Efficiency (RE) — recovery

Proportion of applied nutrient that is recovered in crop biomass.

recovery_efficiency(
  uptake_treated,
  uptake_control,
  nutrient_applied,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

uptake_treated: Numeric vector. Total nutrient uptake with fertilizer (kg/ha).
uptake_control: Numeric vector. Total nutrient uptake without fertilizer (kg/ha).
nutrient_applied: Numeric vector. Nutrient applied (kg/ha).
verbose: Logical. If TRUE, prints informational messages. Default TRUE.

Value

Numeric vector. Recovery efficiency as a proportion (0 to 1, but can exceed 1 due to priming effects or added benefits).

Details

$$RE = \frac{U_f - U_0}{F}$$

Examples

recovery_efficiency(uptake_treated = 100, uptake_control = 60,
                    nutrient_applied = 120)
