A dataset of carbon and water fluxes and micrometerological elements from rubber plantations of Danzhou City, Hainan Province (2010-2018)

As an important forest ecosystem in China’s tropical regions, rubber plantation plays an important role in the regional carbon and water cycle. Measuring the carbon and water fluxes is critical for estimating the carbon and water balance and energy exchange of rubber plantation.

Since November 2009, near-surface CO2 and H2O fluxes observation have been carried out in Danzhou rubber plantation, including eddy covariance system and meteorological observation system. Up to now, it has accumulated flux and meteorological observation data for 12 years. This dataset organizes the rubber plantation flux and conventional meteorological data in Danzhou from 2010 to 2018, including net ecosystem productivity, ecosystem respiration, gross ecosystem productivity, latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, evapotranspiration, air temperature, air relative humidity, vapor pressure, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, total radiation, net radiation, photosynthetically active radiation, soil temperature, soil water content and precipitation.
