Carbon Accumulation Proficiency
Description
Carbon accumulation proficiency (CAP) is a measure of ecosystem carbon sequestration.The CAP parameter investigates how land uses may affect carbon flows, retention, and sequestration. The CAP provides a signal for C cycles, flows, and the systems relative operational supremacy.
Usage
CAP(TOC, BD, Control_Stock)
Arguments
TOC |
a value or a vector of values containing Total Organic Carbon (TOC) |
BD |
a value or a vector of values of same length containing Bulk Density (BD) |
Control_Stock |
