This data includes netcdf files providing negative emission potentials,
rededicated areas and impacts on the biosphere integrity metric M-ECO 
for 3 BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) scenarios and 
3 reforestation scenarios as described in the NEGEM reports 
"Deliverable 3.3: Global assessment of NETP impacts utilising concepts 
of biosphere integrity" and "Deliverable 3.7: Global impacts of NETP 
potentials on food security and freshwater availability, scenario analysis 
of options and management choices" by Johanna Braun, Constanze Werner, 
Wolfgang Lucht and Dieter Gerten, submitted 31.05.2023 for the NEGEM project

### model used #############################################################

The results are based on simulations of the dynamic global vegetation 
model (DGVM) LPJmL version 5.4 with adaptations as described in the 
Deliverable 3.7 (see link above).
