Description
A straightforward model to estimate soil migration rates across various soil contexts.
Based on the compartmental, vertically-resolved, physically-based mass balance model of Soto and Navas (2004)
and Soto and Navas (2008) .
'RadEro' provides a user-friendly interface in R, utilizing input data such as 137Cs inventories and parameters directly derived
from soil samples (e.g., fine fraction density, effective volume) to accurately capture the 137Cs distribution within the soil profile.
The model simulates annual 137Cs fallout, radioactive decay, and vertical diffusion, with the diffusion coefficient calculated
from 137Cs reference inventory profiles. Additionally, it allows users to input custom parameters as calibration coefficients.
The RadEro user manual and protocol, including detailed instructions on how to format input data and configuration files, can be found at the following link: .
