FATES crown damage simulation outputs 2022

Abstract

This dataset contains outputs from the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) and accompanies the paper "Needham, J.F., Arellano, A., Davies, S.J., Fisher, R.A., Hammer, V., Knox, R., Mitre, D., Muller-Landau, H.C., Zuleta, D., Koven, C.D. Tree crown damage and its effects on forest carbon cycling in a tropical forest, 2022, Global Change Biology". Data are unprocessed netcdf file outputs from simulations that were run to test the effect of a new crown damage module in FATES. Specifically, this data package contains a sensitivity analysis to the carbon cushion parameter damage_Ccushion_ensemble_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-02.h0.ensemble.sofar.nc, a sensitivity analysis to the root nitrogen stoichiometry parameter damage_Nstoich_ensemble_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-02.h0.ensemble.sofar.nc, a sensitivity analysis to parameters controlling crown damage and recovery damage_recovery_ensemble_e1b5bd9_354f0b0_2021-09-02.h0.ensemble.sofar.nc, and a sensitivity analysis to the number of crown damage bins elm_fates_bci_*_damagebins.Eac53ccb80b-F8f994c29.2022-04-19.elm.h0.fullrun.nc. This data package also contains a high root nitrogen configuration of FATES, including both a control, and a crown damage simulation high_root_N_control_e1b5bd9_354f0b0_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc and high_root_N_damage_e1b5bd9_354f0b0_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc. There is an analogous low root nitrogen configuration of FATES, including a control, low_root_N_control_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc a damage only simulation low_root_N_damageonly_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc, a damage plus mortality simulation low_root_N_damage_mort_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc, and a mortality only simulation low_root_N_mort_only_e1b5bd9_ef845c8_2021-09-02.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc. Finally, there is a two PFT simulation in which we test the effect of recovery on competitive dynamics, low_root_N_damage_two_pfts_stoichastic_e1b5bd9_bf013ef_2021-09-10.clm2.h0.fullrun.nc. These simulations test the effect of representing crown damage in FATES, compared with simulations that have an equivalent increase in mortality.
