Since carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the major greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, it is necessary to assess its sources and sinks, simulating the complex dynamics of CO 2 flows involved in the carbon balance. To understand the advantages of carbon models for the political and environmental management of a region, we model the carbon cycle of Siena Province, a fairly large area in Tuscany (central Italy). The model develops the socio-ecological processes that determine the anthropogenic emissions and removals of CO 2 from 2006 to 2016. We also include sources of the powerful greenhouse gas methane (CH 4), such as landfills, wastewater treatment, combustion of fossil fuels and livestock. We then estimate the carbon footprint of Siena Provi...
