Simulations underlying the analysis in the publication: Climate Change Projections of Terrestrial Primary Productivity over the Hindu Kush Himalayan Forests

Outputs from the LPJ-GUESS dynamic global vegetation model (Ahlström et al., 2012) are provided for three historical-future simulations for the period 1851-2100, forced by bias-corrected climate from the CCSM4, MPI-ESM-LR and IPSL-CM5A-MR Earth system models (ESM). Two future climate scenarios are considered, RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5. Simulations with potential natural vegetation everywhere (PNV, only for RCP 8.5) and with consideration of agricultural land use (LU), including transient changes were conducted. All simulations are at 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution. For information on the simulation protocol, please refer to Ahlström et al. (2012).<br>

本数据集提供了LPJ-GUESS动态全球植被模型（其相关研究参见Ahlström等人2012年的成果）的模拟结果，涵盖三组1851-2100年的历史-未来情景模拟，其驱动气候数据取自CCSM4、MPI-ESM-LR及IPSL-CM5A-MR三款地球系统模式（Earth System Models，ESM）的经偏差校正气候场。本次模拟共设置两种未来气候情景：RCP 2.6与RCP 8.5。本次模拟共开展两类试验：一类为全域潜在自然植被（Potential Natural Vegetation，PNV）模拟（仅针对RCP 8.5情景），另一类为考虑农业土地利用（Land Use，LU）且纳入土地利用瞬态变化的模拟。所有模拟均采用0.5°×0.5°的空间分辨率。关于模拟方案的详细细节，请参阅Ahlström等人2012年的研究成果。
