Description: This data package contains a set of Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) history files and parameter values for the set of model simulations used in Koven et al. Manuscript "Benchmarking and Parameter Sensitivity of Physiological and Vegetation Dynamics using the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) at Barro Colorado Island, Panama." It includes several ensembles of FATES runs, where each ensemble is comprised of a set of 576 runs that have different values of plant functional type (PFT) traits. The ensembles include 1 PFT, 2 PFT, 3 PFT, and 10 PFT simulations. Different ensembles also have different values of disturbance and height sorting parameters, and structural differences including running FATES within different land surface models (LSMs).
QA/QC: None
Methods Description: Data collection methods can be found in the related publication (Koven et al. 2020. Benchmarking and parameter sensitivity of physiological and vegetation dynamics using the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) at Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Biogeosciences 17:3017–3044. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-17-3017-2020). The QA/QC method was used following the protocols previously described by Christianson et al. (2017) - A metadata reporting framework (FRAMES) for synthesis of ecohydrological observations (doi: 10.1016/j.ecoinf.2017.06.002).
