Simulated Soil Carbon Changes for Red Soil Region Agricultural and Forest Land

Model outputs from ECOSSE simulations estimate soil organic carbon storage and emissions changes. The data was generated in 2018 using input from the Sunjia research farm in Jiangxi province, China. Simulations were performed with a spatially applied global version of the model.

Use Cases

• Calibrate the ECOSSE model using soil organic carbon content outputs from the Red Soil region.
• Analyze simulated soil carbon storage changes between agricultural and forest land use scenarios.
• Validate regional carbon flux estimates against other models using this simulation data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a simulation using the ECOSSE model, a recognized pool-based carbon and nitrogen turnover model.
• Input data for the simulations was provided by the soil science department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
• Simulations were conducted in 2018, providing a contemporary snapshot for that period.

Limitations

• The dataset contains simulated model outputs, not direct empirical measurements, which may differ from observed conditions.
• Geographic scope is limited to the Sunjia research farm and the Red Soil region in southeast China.
• The exact number of data points, rows, or spatial resolution is not specified in the provided information.
