Title

Water and carbon balance outputs of a mechanistic ecosystem model for a Caatinga dryland forest in north-east Brazil

Abstract

This dataset contains half-hourly output data (for the year 2011) generated by a preliminary version of the Shrubland Ecosystem Assessment (SEcA) model. SEcA calculates the ecosystem processes for a semi-arid shrubland system, for this dataset the model has been configured for a Caatinga ecosystem. The model generates 4 output files, those generating the aerodynamic and surface resistances, state variables, energy balance fluxes, and carbon flux-related outputs. The data provided here relate to model runs with the JULES Farquhar model, with the Sinclair plant water stress switched on. This work was funded by Newton/NERC/FAPESP Nordeste project: NE/N012488/1.

Lineage

The main program (in Fortran) reads in the required input data (meteorological data, plant physiological parameters and soil hydraulic parameters) and calls the key subroutines that execute the calculation of the resistance network, fluxes (energy, water and carbon) and above-ground state variables. Input data have been quality-checked for outliers.
