AbstractGround{Tpara<:GroundParameterization,Theat<:HeatBalance,Twater<:WaterBalance} <: SubSurface

Base type for all ground layers defining heat and water balance schemes.

Ground{Tpara,Theat<:HeatBalance,Twater<:WaterBalance,Taux} <: Soil{Tpara,Theat,Twater}

Generic representation of a Ground layer with material parameterization para.

Ground(soilprofile::SoilProfile; kwargs...)

Heterogeneous{V,N,D,Taux} <: SoilParameterization

Special SoilParameterization which wraps a Profile of another soil parameterization type to indicate that it should be heterogeneous with over depth.

RichardsEq{Tform<:RichardsEqFormulation,Tswrc<:SWRC,Taux,TΩ} <: Hydrology.WaterFlow

The Richardson-Richards equation describes the flow of water in porous media under unsaturated condition.

SimpleSoil{Tfc,Tpor,Tsat,Torg,Thp,Twp} <: SoilParameterization

Represents a simple organic/mineral soil mixutre in terms of its characteristic fractions: i.e. natural porosity, saturation, and organic solid fraction. This is the standard CryoGrid representation of a discrete soil volume.

Soil{Tpara,Theat,Twater}

Type alias for any AbstractGround layer with parameterization of type SoilParameterization.

SoilParameterization

Base type for parameterizations of soil consituents.

SoilProfile{N,IT,VT} = Profile{N,IT,VT} where {N,IT<:NTuple{N},VT<:NTuple{N,SoilParameterization}}

Alias for depthwise Profile where the values are SoilParameterization types.

SoilProfile(pairs::Pair{<:DistQuantity,<:SoilParameterization}...)

Alias for Profile(pairs...) specific for SoilProfiles.

SoilTexture{Tsand,Tclay,Tsilt}

Represents soil "texture" as a simple mixture of sand, silt, and clay.
