A dataset of carbon and water fluxes of the boreal forest ecosystem in Huzhong (2014 – 2018)

Located in the largest cold-temperate coniferous forest ecosystem nature reserve in China, China Boreal Forest Ecosystem Research Station (Huzhong Station) is one of the member stations of Chinese FLUX Observation and Research Network (ChinaFLUX), which has conducted long-term carbon and water flux observations of boreal forest ecosystems based on eddy covariance techniques since 2006.

Following the ChinaFLUX data processing protocols, we collected the carbon and water fluxes and auxiliary meteorological environment observations of the boreal forest ecosystem at Huzhong Station from 2014 to 2018. Processing the data in a standard process, we formed a standardized dataset with four time scales, namely half-hourly, daily, monthly and yearly. The dataset is expected to provide data support for the studies on climate change, boreal forest ecosystem carbon, as well as water and energy balance.
