Background atmospheric CO₂regulates the local and non-local climate impacts of

Amazon region climate model outputs from the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) assessing deforestation impacts. The dataset contains results from experiments combining land cover scenarios with high and low CO2 emission pathways for the period 2050 to 2080. It was authored by lee danbi and last updated on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling local and non-local climate impacts of Amazon deforestation based on the described simulation experiments.
• Analyzing how atmospheric CO2 trajectories modulate deforestation effects based on the high and low emission pathway scenarios.
• Studying changes in atmospheric circulation and aridification in South America based on the described remote effects.
• Assessing risks to forest degradation and carbon sequestration capacity under different deforestation and CO2 futures.

Strengths

• Simulation data from the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2), a recognized climate model.
• Explicitly compares two land cover scenarios with two CO2 emission pathways.
• Covers a 30-year future time period from 2050 to 2080.
• Dataset size is 1.5 GB, indicating substantial model output.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect model-specific bias inherent to the CESM2 framework and chosen parameterizations.
