A dataset of estimated net primary production of Japanese cedar plantations (ver.1)

# Abbreviations in this text<br> NPP: Net Primary Production, average of stand ages 36-40<br> GCM: Global Climate Model<br> HT: Historical Trend, average of five years 1996-2000<br> FP2050: Future Prediction, average of five years 2046-2050<br> FP2100: Future Prediction, average of five years 2096-2100 (except for a GCM HadGEM2-ES of 2095-2099) # Description<br> The data is prepared as four files in tab-delimited text format or ten netcdf files in a zip file. The annual NPP of cedar plantations under current and future climates are calculated in 196928 meshes in Japan. The climate scenarios used are owned and distributed by the third party (National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Japan). For the methodology on modeling, parameterization and nation-wide calculation, please check the paper below. # Reference<br> Toriyama J, Hashimoto S, Osone Y, Yamashita N, Tsurita T, Shimizu T, Saitoh TM, Sawano S, Lehtonen A, Ishizuka S (2021) Estimating spatial variation in the effects of climate change on the net primary production of Japanese cedar plantations based on modeled carbon dynamics.

The maps were created using the Generic Mapping Tools version 5 (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/). The average values of five GCMs are used for mapping. # Acknowledgement<br> This dataset was funded by the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Council in Japan, under the project “Research on adaptation to climate change for agriculture, forestry and fisheries”.
