DO - 10.3334/ORNLDAAC/611 UR - http://daac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/dsviewer.pl?ds_id=611 AB - This data set provides two ASCII files (comma-separated-value format) for selected North American and Eurasian boreal forests located between 66.37o N and 47.50o N. Each stand was selected through a review of published literature and classified into one of three classes, depending upon completeness of NPP budget, ancillary site data, and stand information. One file provides carbon distribution in above- and below-ground vegetation biomass, above- and below-ground net primary production, and mean annual biomass increment for 24 Class I sites which have complete NPP budgets (ANPP + BNPP). Information about site characteristics and NPP measurement approaches are also provided. The second file provides stand information, carbon distribution in above-ground vegetation biomass, and ANPP data for 45 Class II boreal forest stands which have incomplete NPP budgets. Data for an additional 299 Class III stands were compiled, but many records contain only select components of NPP and therefore are not included in this data set. Revision Notes: Above- and below-ground biomass, ANPP, and TNPP values for several sites have been corrected to agree with primary published sources and related data sets. The temporal coverage for both data files has been corrected to agree with primary published sources. Please see the ORNL DAAC Data Set Change Information file for more information.
