CO2FIX model: A tool for estimating carbon sequestration potential of any agroforestry systems

Abstract

The CO2FIX model is a tool or software, which is extensively used for assessing baseline carbon as well as estimating carbon sequestration potential (CSP) of any land-use systems, more particularly the potentiality of every individual component (i.e., trees, shrubs, agricultural crops or pastures, soil, etc.). This tool is not only can quantify the carbon stock, but also can quantify the C-fluxes in the biomass of any land-use systems, soil organic matter and also can quantify the C-fluxes in wood products chain. Moreover, this model can simulate the result for “n” numbers of years and can estimate the prediction values. Hence, this tool can be a very useful to the forester, scientists, researchers and academician in estimating the CSP of any system and it’s future predictions in terms of carbon stock and fluxes.
