LF_HS (kg/ha/day)
    This is the amount of litter fall (LF) in carbon masss in the hillslope or upland.From observed data in our study area, we have a values of about 11 kg/ha/day. In the Bavaria, there is a reported value of 0.15 kg/m2/year (of carbon), which would be around 4 kg/ha/day. So we take the range from 3 and 12 kg/ha/day to account for uncertainty in the reported data. We assumes no differences in this case between upslope, hillslope for the moment.

LF_RZ (kg/ha/day)
    This is the amount of litter fall (LF) in carbon masss in the riparian zone of the landscape-explicit model structure (values are taken from LF_HS (kg/ha/day))

RB_HS (kg/ha/day)
    Root breakdown down in the HS or upland, about 20% LF_HS

RB_RZ kg/ha/day)
    Root breakdown in the riparian zone, about 20% LF_HS

k_SD_HS (-)
    Base conversion factor from SOC to DOC in hillslope or upland, estimated by trial and error.

k_SD_RZ (-)
    Base conversion factor from SOC to DOC in riparian zone, estimated by trial and error.

k_DI_gw (-)
    Base conversion factor from DOC to DIC in groundwater, estimated by trial and error.

k_DI_RZ (-)  
    Base conversion factor from DOC to DIC in riparian zone, estimated by trial and error.

k_SI_HS (-) 
    Base conversion factor from SOC to DIC in hillslope or upland, estimated by trial and error.

k_SI_RZ (-) 
    Base conversion factor from DOC to DIC in riparian, estimated by trial and error.

FC_HS (-) 
    Field capacity in hillslope or upland, unitless (0 means FC = minimum soil mositure in the hillslope, 1 means FC = maximum soil moisture in the hillslope). We use the range of [0-1] to facilitate our interpretation of this value (as shown above). In addition, when we work with multiple catchments, it is challanged to use a value in mm. The theoreticall the range is [0,1].

smd_fmax_hs (-)
    Maximum soil moisture deficit in hillslope (0 means smd_fmax_hs = 0*FC_HS, 1 means smd_fmax_hs = 1*FC_HS). The theoretical range is [0,1]. 

FC_RZ (-)
    Field capacity in riparian zone, unitless (0 means FC = minimum soil mositure in the riparian zone, 1 means FC = maximum soil moisture in the riparian zone). The theoreticall the range is [0,1]

smd_fmax_rz (-)
    Maximum soil moisture deficit in riparian (0 means smd_fmax_rz = 0*FC_RZ, 1 means smd_fmax_rz = 1*FC_RZ). The theoretical range is [0,1]. 

rate_multiplier (-)
    The soil temperature multiplier (Eq. 1). The range suggested above were found by checking the soil temperature module with different values of rate_multiplier to see if the soil temperature is reasonable (at least qualitatively).

tbase_offset: (degree celsius)
    The base soil temperature offset,(Eq. 1). The range suggested above were found by checking the soil temperature module with different values of rate_multiplier to see if the soil temperature is reasonable (at least qualitatively).    

mSOC_HS_init (kg/ha)
    Initial SOC storae in the hillslope or upland. The soils in the hillslope or upland are cambisols or some other type of mineral soils. Typically, the carbon pool would vary around 5000 to 25000 kg/ha. 

cDOC_HS_init  (mg/L)
    Initial DOC concentration in the hillslope.  We assume that the upslope compartment is mineral (or at least that the upper and very thin organic layers in the upslope are not directly connected with the riparian zone or the stream). Therefore representative DOC concentrations here should be those of mineral soils/B horizons. I think a reasonable range would be 0.5 to 5 mg/L, but not more.

cDOC_gw_init (mg/L)
    Ininitial groundwater DOC concentration in gw . The values of DOC in groundwater should be much lower and more constrain, between 0.5 and 2 mg/L.

mSOC_rz_init (kg/ha)
    Initial mass of SO in the riparian zone. The soils in the riparian zone are gleysols to histosols and should have a much larger carbon pool. We restrict this range to 50000 to 100000 kg/ha. As a soft calibration strategy, We check that during the simulation the carbon pools in the different compartment do not fluctuate very much and do not increase or decrease with time.

cDOC_rz_init (mg/L)
   initial DOC concentration in the riparian zone. We have data from Rappbode and concentrations can be quite variable depending on the type of profile (wet or dry) and the location in the vertical dimension. We constrain it to between 4 and 16 mg/L (which is the actual average of both the dry and wet profiles).

S0_hs (mm) 
   Initial soil water storatge in the hillslope. The simulated ranges from mHM is already quite high (500-1000)mm, so we takes from mHM and do not calibrate it in here. Therefore, the range is [0,0]

S0_gw (mm)
   Initial soil water storatge in the gw. As this are catchments located in the mountainous areas with shallow groundwater, so we take the range from [500,2000] mm

S0_rz (mm)
   Initial soil water storatge in the riparian. We took the same range as S0_gw

n_days (days)
   Number of rolling days for calculate soil temperature based on n-day moving average air temperature. Is between 20-40 days for our study area based on manual fitting  of air temperature with observed soil temperature at 50cm from DWD 

Fraction of gw flow to riparian zone (-)
   The fraction of groundwater flow which enters the riparian zone, theoretically is from [0,1] but it is unlikely that all/no gw enters the riparian zone, so we set the range [0.1, 09]
