Description
This simulated ecosystem carbon dataset is derived from simulations of the parallel Integrated Biosphere simulator (pIBIS).
Annual carbon variables cover 1971-2015 at 1-km (960m) spatial resolution with 3052 rows and 4823 columns. Carbon stock and flux
units are in kgC/m2 and kgC/m2/yr, respectively. Data are in NetCDF format and Albers equal area projection.
Overall data creation steps: 1. The pIBIS model was used to run simulations using climate, vegetation, soil and disturbance input data;
2. Model outputs were converted to NetCDF format; 3. 1971-2015 subsets were clipped from original 1901-2015 simulation outputs.
Variable List:
aynbp – annual net biome productivity
ayneetot – net ecosystem productivity
aynpptot – net primary productivity
cdisturb – carbon removals not detected from remote sensing, such as thinning
logging – annual carbon removals from logging
stddown – forest standing and down dead wood
totceco – total ecosystem carbon
totcsoi -- total organic soil carbon
totlit – total litter carbon
vegcomb – annual carbon loss due to direct vegetation combustion
