Summary

This dataset contains potential yields of Miscanthus and changes to soil carbon storage resulting from Miscanthus cultivation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare diverse modelling techniques for evaluating the potential of bioenergy crops to mitigate climate change. Three different types of gridded global models were used: a land surface model, JULES (the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator); a bioenergy crop model, MiscanFor; and an integrated assessment model, IMAGE (Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment). The simulated scenario uses land use and climatology from RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 2.6 and focuses on two study areas: the tropics during 2040-49, and Europe during 2090-99. These data were generated as part of the NERC programme Feasibility of Afforestation and Biomass energy with carbon capture storage for Greenhouse Gas Removal (FAB GGR) (Grant NE/P019951/1).
