This Grasshopper definition calculates the CO2 absorption of plants created with Lands Design for a specified period of calculation. You can define the age of each one of the species in the project at the date of the analysis and define if the period of calculation will be before or after that date.

 

Once you get your results, you will be able to export them to a txt file with one click. This Grasshopper definition draws a graph showing all the data; you can see this graph in the origin of coordinates using the Top view and the Hidden display mode.

It is necessary to have Lands Design installed.

All the data used for this calculator has been obtained from the spanish "Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic challenge": https://www.miteco.gob.es/en/cambio-climatico/temas/mitigacion-politicas-y-medidas/calculadoras.aspx. They have obtained this data from four different sources:

  • Table 201 of the National Forestry Inventory 3 and the 2nd Annex of the publication "Las Coníferas en el primer Inventario Forestal Nacional".
  • Table 201 of the National Forestry Inventory 3 and the 2nd Annex of the publication "Las Frondosas en el primer Inventario Forestal Nacional".
  • Madrigal Collazo, J.G. et al., Fundación Conde del Valle de Salazar, Madrid, 1999. Production tables for the Spanish mountains.
  • Table 201 of the National Forestry Inventory 3 and Report about the greenhouse gas emissions in Spain 1990-2012.
