SWAT-Carbon overview
SWAT-Carbon is a watershed scale model that converges terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles at the watershed scale. It is based on the SWAT2012 and has unique functions to assess impacts that agricultural management and climate change have on a wide range of processes and indicators, such as soil organic carbon storage, nitrous oxides emissions, freeze-thaw cycles/water temperature, and riverine carbon fluxes.
