ABM

R model for anaerobic microbial degradation (biodegradation) of organic matter with multiple microbial groups

Description

The ABM model predicts conversion of animal manure or other high-moisture organic wastes to methane and carbon dioxide under anaerobic conditions. The name comes from anaerobic biodegradation model. With multiple microbial groups and group-specific parameters describing kinetics and yield, the model can predict realistic short- and long-term responses to temperature change.

Installation and getting started

This R package can be installed using devtools::install_github("AU-BCE-EE/ABM", build_vignettes = TRUE). Load the package with library(ABM), and open up the vignette with vignette("ABM_start").

If you have trouble installing ABM or devtools, make sure that you are working with the latest version of R. If you have updated R but still have trouble, please contact us or submit a new issue, explaining the problem.
