Description

Daily estimates of European biospheric methane emissions from JSBACH-HIMMELI  model from year 1990 to year 2023. JSBACH-HIMMELI is an ecosystem process model based on JSBACH land surface model, YASSO soil carbon model and HIMMELI methane emission model. The gridded fluxes are available with a resolution of 0.1x0.1 degrees and in units of mol m-2 s-1 (m-2 refers to grid cell area). The gridded flux file contains a variable for methane fluxes, including  a sum of methane fluxes from peatlands, inundated lands and mineral soils. More information of the model set-up is documented in Petrescu, A. M. R., et al., The consolidated European synthesis of CH4 and N2O emissions for the European Union and United Kingdom: 1990–2019, Earth Syst. Sci. Data, 15, 1197–1268, https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-15-1197-2023, 2023, Tyystjärvi, V., 2024. Future methane fluxes of peatlands are controlled by management practices and fluctuations in hydrological conditions due to climatic variability.
