R_Fsom: R_Fsom

In emissions: What the package does (short line)

Description

This data.frame contains space for the C:N ratios of organic soils. IPCC defaults (as described below) are provided. IPPC Equation 11.8

Usage

data(R_Fsom)

Details

C:N ratio of the soil organic matter. A default value of 15 (uncertainty range from 10 to 30) for the C:N ratio (R) may be used for involving land-use change from Forest Land or Grassland to Cropland, in the absence of more specific data for the area. A default value of 10 (range from 8 to 15) may be used for situations involving management changes on Cropland Remaining Cropland. C:N ratio can change over time, land use, or management practice 17 . If countries can document changes in C:N ratio, then different values can be used over the time series,land use, or management practice.

You can use the example input data structure to enter data on C:N ratios for soil organic matter for different land use changes in different regions. Column headers (i.e. land use change designations) must match those for the for the corresponding data.frame passed to the function, such as deltaC_Fsom.
