A value of 1 results in the most efficient compensation (i.e., all differences between potential and actual uptake occurring in layers with mineral N deficiency is added to the uptake demand in layers with no deficiency). A value of 0 represents a case where the uptake demand is strictly partitioned between different soil layers according to the soil root distribution.
