Abstract
Latera is a volcanic area north of Rome where deep, naturally-produced carbon dioxide migrates to the surface and is released to the atmosphere. The region provides an environment in which many processes relevant to the geological storage of carbon dioxide can be studied. This paper describes system-level modelling studies using Quintessa's QPAC-CO 2 code, which includes a novel soil-plant model that represents both fertilization and toxicity effects from elevated carbon dioxide concentrations. Good comparisons have been obtained between model calculations of surface venting patterns, soil gas concentrations and plant responses, giving confidence that the key features of the system are well understood. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
