Data for: "Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO2 fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: regional patterns and uncertainties"

Description of the data

This dataset is a compilation of eddy covariance and chamber measurements of annual and growing season carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes of gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE). The dataset includes flux measurements conducted during 1990–2015 from 148 terrestrial high-latitude tundra and boreal sites. The fluxes and supporting metadata were synthesized by conducting a literature survey, organizing a community call to retrieve unpublished data, and leveraging the available data in FLUXNET2015. Further, we used geospatial products to derive environmental data to these sites. More details can be found in Virkkala et al. "Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO₂ fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: regional patterns and uncertainties" (in review). 

Files in this repository

This repository consists of two datasets: annual_growingseason_CO2flux.csv includes the data and annual_growingseason_CO2flux_metadata.csv provides a description of the columns.
