NPP Boreal Forest: Consistent Worldwide Site Estimates, 1965-1995, R1

This data set provides estimates of above- and below-ground biomass, above- and below-ground NPP (ANPP and BNPP), and total NPP(TNPP) for selected North American and Eurasian boreal forests located between 66.37 degrees N and 47.5 degrees 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.

Within the overall 1965-1995 temporal range, data available for individual sites varies widely. There are two ASCII files (comma-separated-value format) of NPP data. • The first file provides carbon distribution in above- and below-ground vegetation biomass, above- and below-ground net primary production, and mean annual biomass increment for twenty-four (24) Class I sites which have complete NPP budgets (ANPP + BNPP).
