This dataset contains the data that were used in the manuscript ‘Modeling demographic-driven vegetation dynamics and ecosystem biogeochemical cycling in NASA GISS’s Earth system model (ModelE-BiomeE v.1.0)’ (in review by GMDD, https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2022-72). We included the data simulated by ModelE-BiomeE v.1.0 with settings of full demography (folder FullDemography) and single cohort (folder SingleCohort), and initial settings of land grids and vegetation data (folder GlobalVegetation). In the folder FullDemography, we have 4 netcdf files for global output and 25 files for single grids output. The files ‘FullDM_2588_JAN.nc’ and ‘FullDM_2588_JUL.nc’ are the original model output of January and July in the year 2588. The file ‘FullDM_2588_Annual.nc’ is the yearly summary of model simulations. The file ‘FullDM_Selected.nc’ is an annual summary of 588 years of model simulation only with selected variables. The csv files are for single grids output at the time steps of daily and yearly. The last digit 1~8 represents the sites of 'BNC','MNT','HF','OKR','KZ','SV','WGK','TPJ', respectively (Table 1). Table 1 Site ID and file number ['BNC', 'MNT', 'HF', 'OKR', 'KZ', 'SV', 'WGK', 'TPJ'] ['8991', '8992', '8993', '8994', '8995', '8996', '8997', '8998'] ['8971', '8972', '8973', '8974', '8975', '8976', '8977', '8978'] ['8961', '8962', '8963', '8974', '8965', '8966', '8977', '8968'] Please refer to Table 2 in the paper for the detail of these 8 sites. ‘DailyLAIGPP.csv’ is a summary of all ‘DailyEcosystem’ files with LAI and GPP data. We included the Python scripts that can be used to generate the figures in out paper (Plotting-BiomeE-MsTMIP.py, Plotting-Scatter-Comparison.py, PlottingBiomeEMaps.py, and PlottingGridOutput.py). For the convenience of readers (in reproducing our figures), we included the summary of reanalysis of the data from observations and MsTMIP in folder ‘Sum-Obs-Simu’. Please refer to the original sources listed in our paper for the detail of these data.
