= Merge OCN =

This page describes the work done to include the nitrogen cycle into ORCHIDEE. The nitrogen cycle was introduced into ORCHIDEE by Sonke
Zaehle a few years ago. This version called O-CN was not parallelized and is based on a obsolete version, so it will be progressively merged 
into a copy of trunk of ORCHIDEE with regular updates (synchronization with the trunk). The release is expected for the end of 2013.


== Preliminary work : add extra dimensions for some carbon variables (October 2012) ==

'''Work done by Didier :''' the following variables have now an extra dimension :

{{{
    turnover daily
    turnover_littercalc
    turnover_longterm
    biomass
    litter
    bm_to_litter
    bm_to_littercalc
    bm_sapl (parameter)
    bm_alloc

}}}
Moreover, I need to add the following parameters :
{{{
INTEGER(i_std), PARAMETER :: nelements = 1    !! Number of isotopes considered 
INTEGER(i_std), PARAMETER :: icarbon = 1      !! Index for carbon  
}}}
__Test done__ : A simple binary comparison test was performed on Obelix. The tests are OK.
