The total subsidence for year y is calculated as:
$ S_{y,max}=d_{tl,c}\cdot p_{c}-S_{y-1} $
$ S_{O,y}=min(S_{y,max},S_{O,y}) $
$ S_{y,max}=S_{y,max}-S_{O,y} $
$ S_{C,y}=min(S_{y,max},S_{C,y}) $
$ S_{y}=S_{O,y}+S_{C,y} $
where
- $ p_{c} $ is the peat fraction of the respective grid cell c.
- $ d_{tl,c} $ is the top layer thickness of the respective grid cell c.
- $ S_{y,max} $ is the maximum possible subsidence in year y.
- $ S_{y} $ is the total subsidence in year y
- $ S_{O,y} $ is the subsidence due to oxidation in year y.
- $ S_{C,y} $ is the subsidence due to compactions in year y.
