_standard_nat_1990 -> Best estimate simulation under natural disturbance. Averaging period 1961-1990
_standard_natcc_2014 -> Best estimate simulation based on closed-canopy forest area calculations under natural disturbance. Averaging period 2001-2014
_standard_anthro_2014 -> Best estimate simulation under natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Averaging period 2001-2014
_high_anthro_2014 -> Upper estimate simulation under natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Averaging period 2001-2014
_low_anthro_2014 -> Lower estimate simulation under natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Averaging period 2001-2014
_site_recovery_Eurasia_nodist -> Site simulations for 4 Eurasian sites looking at the successional sequence. 800 years long under constant spinup environmental conditions.
_site_recovery_America_nodist -> Site simulations for 5 North American sites looking at the successional sequence. 800 years long under constant spinup environmental conditions.

# Variables (for units see netcdf metadata)
Cveg -> Live vegetation carbon
Clitter -> Litter carbon
Csoil -> Soil carbon
LAI -> Leaf area index
NPP -> Net primary productivity
GPP -> Gross primary productivity
distprob -> Natural disturbance probability
age -> Stand age structure
temprange -> Annual temperature range (based on monthly means)
wooddensity -> community mean wood density

Note:
All nat simulations assume that forest covers the whole grid cell.
All anthro simulations assume that forest only covers the primary and secondary fractions of the grid cell, as defined in the LUH2 dataset, however values are given relative to the whole grid cell. I.e. value_on_forest_area * (primary_area_fraction+secondary_area_fraction).
