Simulated Nisqually River Watershed 30-m resolution 2017 ecosystem carbon variables from the LUCAS model

This simulated ecosystem carbon dataset is used to report terrestrial carbon balance of the Nisqually River basin in the Ecological Modelling paper "Modeling watershed carbon dynamics as affected by land cover change and soil erosion" The data is derived from simulations of the LUCAS model. Annual carbon variables of 2017 at 30m spatial resolution with 2426 rows and 2459 columns. Carbon stock and flux units are in kgC/m2 and kgC/m2/yr, respectively. Data are in tif format and Albers equal area projection. Overall data creation steps: 1. The pIBIS model was used to generate annual carbon parameters of typical ecosystems. 2. The USPED model was used to generate annual soil erosion and deposition maps as affected by land cover change. 3. The LUCAS model was used to run simulations using outputs of USPED, pIBIS, and LCMAP data; 4. Model outputs were summarized as annual numbers, spatial data were saved in GeoTiff format; Variable List: aynpptot – net primary productivity of 2017 (flog_127.it1.ts2017_aynpptot.tif, 0.02-1.13 kgC/m2/yr); cbiotot - total biomass carbon of 2017 (stkg_101.it1.ts2017_cbiotot.tif, 0.0-22.72 kgC/m2); totcsoi – total soil carbon of 2017 (stkg_106.it1.ts2017_totcsoi.tif, 2.48-99.43 kgC/m2); ED – total ecosystem soil carbon erosion and deposition of 2017 (stkg_103.it1.ts2017_ED.tif, -1.20-1.20 kgC/m2/yr).
