Abstract

Global digital databases of natural vegetation and land use were compiled, for use in climate studies, at 1 degree resolution from over 100 published sources. A series of 6 data sets, derived from the original compilations, was prepared and archived on tape at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) (Matthews, 1984). The first is a vegetation data set representing natural (pre-agricultural) vegetation based on the UNESCO classification system. The second, this database, derived from the land-use compilation, is a cultivation-intensity data set defining the areal extent of presently-cultivated land in 1 degree cells. *Note: this is a Gridded Cultivation Intensities [values range from 1(min) to 5(max)] (1 degree x 1 degree).

Gridded Global Vegetation Types

Dataset Matthews, Elaine

Global digital databases of natural vegetation and land use were compiled, for use in climate studies, at 1 degree resolution from over 100 published sources. A series of 6 data sets, derived from the original compilations, was prepared and archived on tape at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) (Matthews, 1984). The first, this database, is a vegetation data set representing natural (pre-agricultural) vegetation based on the UNESCO classification system. The ecosystem classifications used are: 1. tropical evergreen rainforest, mangrove forest; 2. tropical/subtropical evergreen seasonal broadleaved forest; 3. subtropical evergreen rainforest; 4. temperate/subpolar evergreen rainforest; 5. temperate evergreen seasonalmore »« less
Global Patterns of CO2 Emissions from Soils on a 0.5 Degree Grid Cell Basis

Dataset Raich, J. W. ; Potter, C. S.

We use semi-mechanistic, empirically based statistical models to predict the spatial and temporal patterns of global carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial soils. Emissions include the respiration of both soil organisms and plant roots. At the global scale, rates of soil CO2 efflux correlate significantly with temperature and precipitation; they do not correlate well with soil carbon pools, soil nitrogen pools, or soil C:N. Wetlands cover about 3% of the land area but diminish predicted CO2 emissions by only about 1%. The estimated annual flux of CO2 from soils to the atmosphere is estimated to be 76.5 Pg C yr-1, 1-9more »« less
Global Geo-processed Data of Aquifer Properties by 0.5° Grid, Country and Water Basins

Dataset Niazi, Hassan ; Watson, David ; Hejazi, Mohamad ; ...

This repository of global hydrogeologic datasets contains aquifer properties on 0.5° scale, including depth to groundwater (Fan et al., 2013), aquifer thickness (de Graaf et al., 2015), WHYMap aquifer classes (Richts et al., 2011), porosity and permeability (Gleeson et al., 2014), digitized and geo-processed from their respective sources. Globally gridded aquifer properties could be used independently to estimate global groundwater availability or used as critical inputs to the superwell model to simulate groundwater extraction and provide estimates of pumped volumes and unit costs under user-specific scenarios. Key resources related to this data are: Niazi, H., Ferencz, S., Graham, N., Yoon,more »« less

Interannual Variability in Global Soil Respiration on a 0.5 Degree Grid Cell Basis (1980-1994)

Dataset Raich, J. W. ; Potter, C. S. ; Bhagawati, D.

The Principal Investigators used a climate-driven regression model to develop spatially resolved estimates of soil-CO2 emissions from the terrestrial land surface for each month from January 1980 to December 1994, to evaluate the effects of interannual variations in climate on global soil-to-atmosphere CO2 fluxes. The mean annual global soil-CO2 flux over this 15-y period was estimated to be 80.4 (range 79.3-81.8) Pg C. Monthly variations in global soil-CO2 emissions followed closely the mean temperature cycle of the Northern Hemisphere. Globally, soil-CO2 emissions reached their minima in February and peaked in July and August. Tropical and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests contributedmore »« less
