The carbon module provides carbon density information for different land types.
| Description | Unit | A | |
|---|---|---|---|
| pm_climate_class (j, clcl) |
Koeppen-Geiger climate classification on the simulation cluster level | \(1\) | x |
| sm_fix_cc | year until which all parameters affected by cc are fixed to historical values | \(year\) | x |
| vm_carbon_stock (j, land, c_pools, stockType) |
Carbon stock in vegetation soil and litter for different land types | \(10^6 tC\) | x |
| vm_emissions_reg (i, emis_source, pollutants) |
Regional emissions by source and gas after technical mitigation N CH4 C | \(Tg/yr\) | x |
| Description | Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| fm_carbon_density (t_all, j, land, c_pools) |
LPJmL carbon density for land and carbon pools | \(tC/ha\) |
| pm_carbon_density_ac (t_all, j, ac, ag_pools) |
Above ground natveg carbon density for age classes and carbon pools | \(tC/ha\) |
| pm_carbon_density_ac_forestry (t_all, j, ac, ag_pools) |
Above ground plantation carbon density for age classes and carbon pools | \(tC/ha\) |
This realization provides carbon density information on cellular level to all land modules (30_crop, 31_past, 32_forestry, 34_urban and 35_natveg). The realization also provides carbon density for different age-classes, based on a chapman-richards volume growth model, to the land modules 32_forestry and 35_natveg Braakhekke et al. (2019).
Actual CO2 emissions are calculated based on changes in carbon stocks between timesteps in the interface vm_carbon_stock.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_emissions\_reg(i2,emis\_oneoff,"co2\_c") = \sum_{cell(i2,j2),emis\_land(emis\_oneoff,land,c\_pools)}\left(\frac{ \left(vm\_carbon\_stock.l(j2,land,c\_pools,"actual") - vm\_carbon\_stock(j2,land,c\_pools,"actual")\right)}{m\_timestep\_length}\right) \end{multline*}\]
Limitations There are no known limitations.
