Forest Water Use Efficiency and Carbon Sink Data for Northeast China, 2005–2020

254.8 MB of geospatial data supporting research on plantation expansion impacts. The dataset includes TIF/TIFF raster files and R code, created by YUE ZHAO to generate figures for a study on forest water and carbon patterns. It was last updated on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Modeling forest water use efficiency based on evapotranspiration and gross primary productivity data.
• Analyzing the trade-off between carbon sink strength and water use inefficiency in plantations.
• Mapping changes in water and carbon patterns in Northeast China's forests over a 15-year period.
• Reproducing figures and analyses from the associated scientific publication.

Strengths

• 254.8 MB of data provides substantial spatial detail for analysis.
• Data covers a 15-year period from 2005 to 2020.
• Includes both raster data (TIF/TIFF) and analysis code (R) for reproducibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
