CONUS VPD and soil moisture thresholds for suboptimal vegetation function
Description
The dataset contains minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil moisture parameters that define the range of suboptimal vegetation function (i.e., between uninhibited photosynthesis and complete shutdown). The ranges were estimated using the Dynamic Canopy Biophysical Properties model (DCBP; Lowman & Barros 2018), which consists of a phenology forecasting model based on the growing season index (GSI), which provides a unitless measure of the potential phenologic state of vegetation based on the concurrent meteorological conditions (Jolly et al. 2005).
Notes
The DCBP parameters that determine the thresholds for VPD and soil moisture are stored in netCDF files. Each file is stored as a matrix on the NLDAS CONUS grid at 0.125° spatial resolution and represents the average of 2000 ensemble members. There are four separate files in total:
- vpd_max_avg.nc: Maximum VPD threshold
- vpd_min_avg.nc: Minimum VPD threshold
- sm_max_avg.nc: Maximum soil moisture threshold
- sm_min_avg.nc: Minimum soil moisture threshold
