Land surface models (LSMs) must have reliable forcing, validation and surface attribute data as the foundation for effective model development and improvement. Eddy covariance flux tower data are considered the benchmarking data for LSMs. However, these datasets lack site-observed attribute data, limiting their use as benchmarking data. Here we collected their vegetation, soil information, and wind speed measurement height from literature, regional networks, and Biological, Ancillary, Disturbance, and Metadata (BADM) files. Then through global data product complement and plant functional types (PFTs) classification, we obtained the final flux tower attribute dataset, presented in NetCDF format with necessary descriptions and reference sources.

| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
