Hi Rainer,
It is very simple to specify the constraints (linear or nonlinear) in "alabama" 
.  They are specified in a function called `hin', where the constraints are 
written such that they are positive.  Your two nonlinear constraints would be 
written as follows:

hin <- function(x, LAI) {
h <- rep(NA, 2)
h[1] <- LAI^x[2] / x[3] + x[1]
h[2] <- 1 - x[1] - LAI^x[2] / x[3]
h
}

Please take a look at the help page.  If it is still not clear, you can contact 
me offline.
Best,
Ravi
