Description: Provides an 'R' interface to the 'C-TOOL' soil carbon turnover model
    for simulating soil organic carbon dynamics in agricultural systems. The
    package supports the definition of carbon inputs, management schedules, soil
    parameters, and temperature forcing, and includes tools for scenario analysis
    and calibration of selected model parameters against observed soil organic
    carbon stocks. The 'C-TOOL' model and related modelling framework are
    described by Petersen et al. (2002) <doi:10.1016/S0304-3800(02)00034-0>,
