A dataset of carbon and water fluxes of the desert ecosystem at Ulan Buh site in 2021

The raw observation data collected at the Ulan Buh desert flux observation site in 2021 were processed to produce this standardized dataset of ecosystem carbon and water fluxes and key meteorological elements following the ChinaFLUX data processing specifications. The site was established by Shanxi University in the Ulan Buh Desert. This dataset includes 8 Excel data files, divided into two categories: LITE, which includes major fluxes and meteorological variables, and ALL, which adds data quality and interpolation indicators on the basis of LITE. Each category has four data files, including data files at four scales: half-hour (HH), day (DD), month (MM), and year (YY).
