Datasets in Support of Climate Change Tree Species Modelling
Description
Spatial estimates of PAR and SWC are obtained with an existing process-based model, the Landscape Distribution of Soil moisture, Energy, and Temperature model (LanDSET). GDD and average air temperature are estimated from remote sensing data derived primarily from MODIS and Landsat-7 ETM+ optical and thermal (infra-red) image data. Average air temperature and annual precipitation (presented as an interpolation of climate station precipitation measurements) serve as input to the calculation of SWC in LanDSET.
