Entering data for soil carbon change map

Choose create content, map instance.

1. Name the project.

2. Select the Template type: is this an instance of carbon gain, loss, or no change?

3. Description: summarize. USE HTML tags to place a photo (copy code from other examples), separate paragraphs, and include links. Links to published papers should have as their text, the short title of the journal, issue, year, pages.

4. Carbon change in T C per ha per yr, or as a percentage per year to a given depth in cm. To calculate the percentage:

(1 - (percent now/percent then ^ years ^ -1))*100

e.g. if carbon percentage went from .55 to 1.4 in 14 years, 1.4/.55 = 2.545. The 14th root of this can be found on most scientific calculators by raising 2.545 to the 1/14 power, which is 1.069. Less 1, times 100 this gives 6.9% increase per year. Annual carbon loss percentages can be calculated similarly.
