Carbon turnover from forest disturbances

Carbon stock and carbon turnover flux outputs from the LPJ-GUESS dynamic global vegetation model, as forced by observation-based stand-replacing disturbance rotation periods (τO). Outputs area means over the period 2001-2014 and were calculated at 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Multiple simulations are provided, including a baseline simulation with the best-estimate of τO, simulations forced by the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals of τO, and sensitivity simulations in which τO was modified by a scalar between 0.25 and 4. These sensitivity simulations were also repeated with differing assumptions regarding the form of disturbance. A full description of the data can be found in the paper to which it relates: Pugh, T.A.M., Arneth, A., Kautz, M., Poulter, B., Smith, B., Nature Geoscience, 2019.
