Carbon Sequestration
Description
Simulates carbon sequestration
Usage
forest.seq(x, y)
Arguments
x |
parameters for forest growth; a list(t,B0,Bmax,nu,r): t time sequence,B0 Biomass at time zero, Bmax Maximum Biomass (parameter of Richards equation), nu Coefficient exponent to adjust shape (parameter of Richards equation), r Growth rate (parameter of Richards equation) |
y |
Specifications of power plant emissions a list(kgCO2.kWh,P,C): kgCO2.kWh kg of CO2 per kWh produced, P Power produced, C carbon content |
Details
forest.seq produces rates, area, and a plot of C forest sequestration dynamics
Value
yr.max |
time in years to achieve biomass for max rate |
B.i |
required biomass in t/ha to sequester at max rate |
max.dCO2 |
max rate |
tCO2.emiss |
carbon emission sequestered |
area |
area required |
