Abstract

In Australia, the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM) is used by the Australian Government for international reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and to predict carbon stock changes for carbon abatement projects. Consequently, over the last 20 years, it has been routinely applied at continental, regional and local scales, and has been subject to on-going development to improve its accuracy and representativeness. Given its importance, a sensitivity analysis could facilitate our understanding of model behaviour and aid the planning of future work and data collection. In particular, the sensitivity of a given model parameter is often context dependent such that it depends on the level of other parameters or variables.
