Intercomparison of biogenic CO2 flux models in four urban parks in the city of ZurichLater compilation

Where: Sect. 2.3.3, SUEWS, p. 2139

Describes the SUEWS configuration used. Irrigation is named only as one of the submodels SUEWS contains; no irrigation setting, schedule or fraction is stated anywhere in the article or its supplement.

One Trees column and one Lawn column. It gives Fpho,max 8.3 and 8.92, ai 0.78 and 1.7, bi 0.08 and 0.06, LAImax 4.8 and 3, LAImin 0.66 and 1.6, G2-G6, TL, TH, dtheta_WP 132.5 and 143 mm, Kdown,max 1200, GDD 300, SDD -300, Tbase,GDD 5, Tbase,SDD 10, and the four LAI power coefficients 0.04, 0.0005, -1.5 and 0.0025. It gives no maximum conductance, no G1, no soil depth, no soil storage capacity, no light-response alpha or theta and no minimum respiration.

Intercomparison of biogenic CO2 flux models in four urban parks in the city of ZurichLater compilation

Where: Title and abstract, p. 2133

The study covers four urban parks in the city of Zurich and evaluates the models against in situ measurements made in those parks; it is park-scale, not a city-wide determination.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
No Irrigation accurately describes the all-zero switching configuration without attributing it to a publication or city.
Targetsupported
The stored fields are SUEWS irrigation settings, which is the irrigation target.
Valuessupported
The full-year window, zero automatic fraction, and all-zero daily switches consistently encode the explicit no-irrigation assumption; they are not presented as measured or published settings.
Sourcenot applicable
The article and supplement publish no irrigation schedule. Source unreferenced is the honest declaration for an explicit model configuration assumption.
issue #223
Placenot applicable
The assumption declares no evidence place; origin Zurich preserves migration lineage.
Representativenessnot applicable
A switched-off configuration with no parameter publication carries no geographic evidence-reach claim.
Methodsupported
Assumed is appropriate for a model switch with no parameter publication.
Identitycuration required
Whether a switched-off irrigation configuration should be a citable database record at all, rather than a model default or fixture, remains a repository curation decision.
issue #423

Scientific note

This record encodes a decision rather than a measurement: irrigation off, every day, all year. Stagakis et al. list irrigation only as a SUEWS submodel and publish no schedule in the article, supplement or parameter table. The values remain unchanged as an explicit assumption; the paper attribution and unsupported Zurich/city evidence scope are removed while origin preserves migration lineage.
