Analysis of tree ring based biomass time series at Ameriflux Sites FILENAME: Folder: Francesc_uncertainties

This folder contains SITE level uncertainty estimates for sites within the DOE network. Sites include:

Harvard Forest Dowland Forest Valles Lower Valles Upper Morgan Monroe Missouri Ozarks Oak Openings UMBS-Ameriflux site Duke Hardwood Duke Loblolly Savannah River Austin-Cary Niwot Ridge

Components included (Components from Jenkins database Table 5)

Comp. 1—total tree biomass PFT equations used Comp. 2spp—Aboveground Biomass; Species specific equations used where possible Comp. 2pft—Aboveground Biomass; PFT equations used Comp. 6—Wood Biomass(stem); PFT equations used Comp. 18—Leaves Biomass; PFT equations used Comp. 29—Total root biomass; PFT equations used

Two file types appear: 1)Allometry Uncertainties—quantifies uncertainty associated with the parameter errors calculated with PECAN framework—https://github.com/PecanProject/pecan

2)Density Uncertainty—quantifies uncertainty associated with the variation in plot structure at the sites.

ALL BIOMASS ESTIMATES ARE IN KG/M2!!!!

All files are formatted the same:

Year: Calendar year SiteID: General Site name—see above Mean: Mean biomass estimate LB: lower 95% confidence interval UB: upper 95% confidence interval


HEADER: These three files were produced with the code found at: https://github.com/davidjpmoore/Calloc_TreeRingNPP/
