DayCent

What problem does it solve?

Automates the end-to-end DayCent workflow from site setup through data extraction, reducing manual orchestration and minimizing configuration errors in soil-ecosystem flux modelling.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end DayCent pipeline: builds site files (<site>.100, sitepar.in, soils.in, outfiles.in), generates daily weather files, runs equilibrium spin-up, base history, and treatment, and provides extraction hooks for outputs.
• Validation, diagnostics and reuse: integrates preflight checks, diagnostic triplets, and a structured validation stage to ensure scientifically plausible results and reproducible workflows.
• Output extraction and analysis: supports DDlist100-based variable extraction and parse_daycent_output-based tidying and metrics against observed data for streamlined analysis.

Quick Start

Run DayCent workflow by configuring a run directory with a Wooster-like template and executing the three-stage run (eq → base → treat) followed by extraction to produce tidy outputs for analysis.
