Tabular data of carbon dynamics for conterminous U.S. forests from 2001-2020

This data series provides annual maps of carbon stocks for conterminous U.S. forests. Annual raster maps are provided at 1-km resolution for the period 2001-2020. Carbon stock estimates were derived by linking the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS) model and the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3) as described in the accompanying publication. The model was run on an annual timestep for the period 2001-2020. Four scenario simulations were conducted including 1) the combined effects of land use and land cover change (LULC) and climate, 2) only LULC effects, 3) only climate effects, and 4) no effects from either LULC or climate.
