Data for: A harmonized database of European forest simulations under climate change

This repository contains the database presented in the publication "A harmonized database of European forest simulations under climate change". It contains a collection of harmonized forest simulation model outputs from 17 different models covering 1.1 million individual simulation runs, over 136 million simulation years across over 13,599 unique locations in Europe. Detailed description can be found in the publication (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2024.110384). The file "forest_simulation_db_v1.7z" contains all raw simulation outputs and a metadata table of all simulations including information about locations and harmonized soil conditions for those locations. Simulation outputs with harmonized climate data are stored in one SQLite database per climate scenario. The code that was used to create the database, as well as to access and explore the data can be found here: https://github.com/magrueni/forest_simulation_database.git Note: Please be cautious with the use of the simulations with unique identifiers 1037-1047. There were some abrupt species compositions changes reported that suggest that in a small number of the original simulations there was an underlying issue in the compilation of the raw simulation data. --- Please use the updated version 1.1 --- Unfortunately we found an bug in the daily climate extraction process of the previous version, leading to inconsistencies in the harmonized climate data. We corrected the harmonized daily climate data for all scenarios. Additionally, the LAI values in the raw data of the simulations with the unique identifier 1016 were calculated wrongly and therefore corrected in this version. Please use the updated version for all analyses. We apologize for any inconveniences. --- Please use the updated version 1.1 ---
