Net Energy

Difference between total energy output and total energy input.

net_energy(energy_out, energy_in, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

energy_out

Numeric vector. Total energy output (MJ/ha).

energy_in

Numeric vector. Total energy input (MJ/ha).

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, prints informational messages. Default TRUE.

Value

Numeric vector. Net energy (MJ/ha). Positive values indicate net energy gain; negative values indicate net energy loss.

Details

Formula: $$NE = Energy Output - Energy Input$$

Examples

net_energy(energy_out = 135000, energy_in = 12000)
#> Net energy computed (MJ/ha).
#> [1] 123000
