Land-use change module is to calculate the emissions N emissions occurring as a result of loss of soil carbon through change in land use or management. It is calculated based on Equation 11.8 of the IPCC document.

Configuration

{
 "landtype": [ "F", "C", "C", "G", "G", "G"]
},
{
 "landuse": [ "", "Long term cultivated", "Perennial crop", "", "", ""]
},
{
 "management": [ "", "Reduced", "Full", "High intensity grazing", "High intensity grazing", "High intensity grazing"]
},
{
 "input": [ "", "Medium", "Medium", "High", "High", "High"]
},
{
 "change": {
  "transform": {
   "allow_nulls": true,
   "library": "moja.flint.example.agri",
   "type": "CompositeTimeSeriesTransform",
   "data_property": "data_yearly",
   "vars": ["landtype", "landuse", "management", "input"]
  }
 }
}

soil_type: soil type of the land-unit

Implementation

LandUseModule extracts data from change and then calculates the change in soil carbon stock using the data in Soil_Stock_Change table.
