Global Terrestrial Biome Carbon-Water Parameters from 200 FLUXNET Sites

200 FLUXNET2015 sites provide half-hourly eddy covariance measurements used to derive four key carbon–water coupling parameters (α, β, γ, WUEmax). The dataset, authored by cheng Yi and last updated in 2026, contains the complete analysis workflow for studying spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and environmental drivers across global biomes. It is a 1.5 GB repository organized into seven sequential analytical modules.

Use Cases

• Modeling ecosystem carbon-water coupling based on derived parameters α, β, γ, and WUEmax.
• Analyzing spatial variation in parameters across biomes based on climatic and vegetation drivers like MAT, MAP, VPD, SWC, LAI, and SLA.
• Assessing interannual trends in carbon-water parameters using Mann–Kendall test and Sen's slope estimator.
• Investigating trade-offs and correlations among the four parameters within and across biome types.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on data from 200 FLUXNET2015 sites.
• The 1.5 GB repository contains the complete data analysis workflow organized into seven modules.
• Parameters are derived from half-hourly eddy covariance measurements using a rectangular hyperbola model.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
