APLE : Annual Phosphorus Loss Estimator Tool
APLE is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet model that runs on an annual time-step and estimates field-scale, sediment bound and dissolved P loss (kg ha−1) in surface runoff for agricultural field. APLE is intended to quantify P loss through process-based equations. It has been tested for its ability to reliably predict P loss in runoff for systems with machine-applied manure and for soil P cycling using data from a wide variety of agricultural fields and regions. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Annual P Loss Estimator (APLE). File Name: APLE 2.5.2.xlsxResource Description: APLE is a fairly simple, user-friendly, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet model that runs on an annual time-step and estimates field-scale, sediment bound and dissolved P loss (kg ha−1) in surface runoff for agricultural field.
