Before the annual carbon sequestration by woody vegetation can be calculated the annual wood production needs to be determined. The annual wood production is calculated as followed:
Where:
- ‘AnnualWoodprod’, is the annual wood production by woody vegetation [kg dam-2 yr-1].
- ‘AnnualIncrement’, is the annual increment in wood of woody vegetation [kg dam-2 yr-1].
- ‘HarvestFactor’, is the fraction of woody vegetation that can be harvested [-].
- ‘Frtrees’, is the fraction of the cell that is covered by trees [-].
- ‘CorrectionFactor’, is the correction factor to go from kg ha-1 yr-1 to kg dam-2 yr-1[-].
The fraction harvested (harvest factor) is based on the 6th National Forest Inventory and is estimated as: 0.373 for deciduous, 0.531 for coniferous and 0.466 for mixed forest (Schelhaas et al., 2014). The annual increment can be estimated, given specific soil texture and soil drainage groups, for different forest types (Table 2 according to Vandekerkhove et al. (2014). To determine the specific soil texture and soil drainage group maps a number of steps need to be taken that combine maps with look-up table. These steps are described below.
