Dataset: Pyrogenic carbon decomposition is critical to resolving fire's role in the Earth system

<p>These data, deposited as an Excel (.xlsx) file, tabulate the data used to construct the figures in the proposed Nature Geoscience paper &quot;Pyrogenic carbon decomposition rates are critical to resolving fire&#39;s role in the Earth system&quot; (NGS-2020-12-02852C).&nbsp; The spreadsheets are titled after their respective Figures. &nbsp;Additional sheets correspond to Extended Data for global pyrogenic carbon production for different vegetation types, the rate of source vegetation-specific erosion of pyrogenic carbon to the inland water network, and the rate of tree mortality in the tropics following post-drought fires. The data are aggregated global outputs from the global land surface model ORCHIDEE-MICT (Biochar version), and are denominated in units of carbon mass, often as a rate quantity.&nbsp; &#39;PFTs&#39; refer to plant functional types, a common rubric for discerning the differing types and roles of vegetation in functional ecology and their relation to the carbon cycle.&nbsp; Interested parties are requested to contact the corresponding author for raw data files (model output), which are too large to deposit online. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
