CO2 Flux and Temperature Data for Estimating Thermal Acclimation in Ecosystem Respiration

We have compiled an extensive dataset of long-term, hourly CO2 flux measurements from 93 global eddy covariance sites to estimate the thermal response strength in nighttime ecosystem respiration. Flux data was sourced from AmeriFlux (https://ameriflux.lbl.gov/), FluxNet (https://fluxnet.org/), and ICOS (https://www.icos-cp.eu/). The processed data product encompasses five categories. (1) Long-term, directly measured, Ustar-filtered, hourly or subhourly nighttime ecosystem respiration, along with corresponding air temperature, soil temperature, and soil water content at the 93 sites. (2) Long-term gap-filled data, including hourly or subhourly net ecosystem exchange, air temperature, and soil temperature at these sites. (3) Annual topsoil (< 0.1 m) temperature and nighttime ecosystem respiration curves during the growing season, designed for calculating thermal response strength. (4) Estimated thermal response strength across these sites, detailed with geographic, climatic, soil, and vegetation conditions for each site. (5) An R script to calculate thermal response strength using the data product (3).
