wood_to_co2 {care4cmodel}

Convert Wood Volume to CO2 Equivalents

Description

Convert Wood Volume to CO2 Equivalents

Usage

wood_to_co2(volume_m3, raw_density_kg_m3, water_perc = 12)

Arguments

volume_m3

Wood volume to be converted in cubic meters

raw_density_kg_m3

The raw density of the wood in kg/m³

water_perc

The water content of the wood at raw density in percent (usually defined as 12 %, i.e. air-dry)

Value

The CO2 equivalent of the input wood volume in kg

Examples

  # Conversion of 1 m³ wood with typical values for important tree species
  wood_to_co2(1, raw_density_kg_m3 = 520) # Scots pine
  wood_to_co2(1, raw_density_kg_m3 = 470) # Norway spruce
  wood_to_co2(1, raw_density_kg_m3 = 600) # European larch
  wood_to_co2(1, raw_density_kg_m3 = 700) # sessile/pedunculate oak
  wood_to_co2(1, raw_density_kg_m3 = 730) # European beech
