📄️ Nitrogen Balance
This document explains how the nitrogen (N) balance is calculated within the FDM Calculator. The balance provides insights into nitrogen inputs, outputs, and potential surpluses or deficits on a per-field basis, which are then aggregated to the farm level. It serves as a critical tool for agronomists and farmers to optimize nutrient management, enhance crop productivity, and minimize environmental impacts.
📄️ Organic Matter
This document explains how the Soil Organic Matter (SOM) balance is calculated within the FDM Calculator. The balance provides a crucial indicator of soil health by tracking the inputs and losses of organic matter over time. It helps agronomists and farmers assess whether their management practices are maintaining, building, or depleting soil organic matter, which is vital for soil structure, water retention, and nutrient cycling.
