LWFBrook90R: A package for simulating water fluxes, soil moisture and drought stress using the SVAT Model LWF-Brook90.

The central function run_LWFB90() creates model input from model control options, parameters, climate and soil data, executes the model code and returns the model results. The model control options thereby let the user select different methods for defining phenology and leaf area index seasonality, root density depth distributions, and inter-annual variation of stand properties. Additionally, a set of pedotransfer functions is provided to derive hydraulic parameters from soil physical properties. For an introduction to the basic usage see vignette('intro_LWFB90').
