Data and code to next-generation ensemble projections reveal higher climate risks for marine ecosystems

Data products: Tittensor et al. (2021). Next-generation ensemble projections reveal higher climate risks for marine ecosystems, Nature Climate Change. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-021-01173-9  

This data was produced using R scripts available on the GitHub repository https://github.com/Fish-MIP/CMIP5vsCMIP6, and was used for analysis and plotting in Tittensor et al. (2021). These R scripts are also available here as CMIP5vsCMIP6_code.zip 

Data_CMIP5.Rdata and Data_CMIP6.RData include all data used to produce global maps of percentage change in total consumer biomass. 

Data_trends_CMIP5.Rdata and Data_trends_CMIP6.RData include all data used to produce temporal trends of percentage change in total consumer biomass. 

Data_inputs_CMIP5.Rdata and Data_trends_CMIP6.RData include all data used to produce global maps of percentage change in phytoplankton biomass, zooplankton biomass, net primary production and sea surface temperature. 

Data_trends_inputs_CMIP5.Rdata and Data_trends_CMIP6.RData include all data used to produce temporal trends of percentage change in phytoplankton biomass, zooplankton biomass, net primary production and sea surface temperature.

The suffix _reducedModelSet refers to the case when only the subset of Fish-MIP models in Lotze et al. (2019) - Global ensemble projections reveal trophic amplification of ocean biomass declines with climate change, PNAS, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1900194116 - are considered. This data was used to produce some of the supplementary figures in Tittensor et al. (2021).
