where ρ lf is the annual decay rate (fraction of pool) for a type of waste wood products in the landfill, t l is the time (year) since disposition (i.e., 0, 1, 2 … ω ), ξ is basic decay rate, and ω is the turnover time (year).
The estimator interface The WPsCS Estimator is developed using Python pro- gramming, and it has a user-friendly interface for its operation (Fig. 2). The data containing the wood prod- uct carbon input consists of a comma-separated value (CSV) file including the annual production, consump- tion, or user-defined system boundary of each wood
