sequestration: 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

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

Details

forest.seq produces rates, area, and a plot of C forest sequestration dynamics
