Simulated CONUS-wide 1-km resolution 1971-2015 ecosystem carbon variables from the IBIS model
Description
This simulated ecosystem carbon dataset is used to report terrestrial carbon budget of the conterminous U.S. in the Golobal Change Biology paper "Critical land change information enhances understanding of carbon balance in the U.S."
The data 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 – net biome productivity;
ayneetot – net ecosystem productivity;
aynpptot – net primary productivity;
totceco – total ecosystem carbon.
