Systemic Carbon Cycle Analyses for the Southern African Woodlands ecoregion from 2006-2017

This dataset contains systemic carbon (C) cycle analyses for the Southern African Woodlands ecoregion from 2006-2017, mapped at 0.5 degree spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution. There are five netcdf files: DRIVERS_OBS_2006_2017.nc : This file contains the environmental drivers, the assimilated observations, and their uncertainties; PARS_2006_2017.nc : This file contains maps of the parameter ensembles for the DALEC.4 ecosystem C cycle model, as retrieved by the Bayesian calibration; CFLUX_2006_2017.nc : This file contains the gross and net C fluxes for all C fluxes simulated by DALEC.4 at monthly temporal resolution; CSTOCK_2006_2017.nc : This file contains the C stocks in the live and dead organic matter pools simulated by DALEC.4 at monthly temporal resolution; NPP_MRT_2006_2017.nc : This file contains the monthly Net Primary Productivity (NPP), the monthly NPP allocation to different live C pools, the fractional NPP allocation to different live C pools, and the residence times for the live and dead organic matter C pools. We also include a readme file describing the datasets in more detail, alongside a set of python scripts used to generate the diagnostic analyses described in the manuscript. This dataset was produced using the CARDAMOM model-data fusion framework, and accompanies the manuscript: Williams, M., Milodowski, D. T., Smallman, T. L., Dexter, K. G., Hegerl, G. C., McNicol, I.
