Lund-Potsdam-Jena Wetland Hydrology and Methane DGV Model (LPJ-WHyMe v1.3.1)
This model product provides the Fortran 77 source code for the Lund-Potsdam-Jena (LPJ) Wetland Hydrology and Methane Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ-WHyMe v1.3.1), auxiliary C++ routines, ASCII and NetCDF input data, and NetCDF example output data. LPJ-WHyMe v1.3.1 simulates peatland hydrology, permafrost dynamics, peatland vegetation, and methane emissions.The model processes can be simulated on an area-averaged 0.5 or 1.0 degree grid cell basis at global, regional, or site scales and on a daily, monthly, or annual time step as appropriate. Input driver data are monthly mean air temperature, total precipitation, percentage of full sunshine, annual atmospheric CO2 concentration, and soil texture class. The simulation for each grid cell begins from "bare ground", requiring a "spin up" (under non-transient climate) of ca. 1,000 years to develop equilibrium vegetation, carbon, and soil structure. Model simulations compare favorably, with some exceptions, to field observations collected from peatland sites (e.g., Degero, Sweden; Lakkasuo, Finland; BOREAS Northern Study Area, Canada; and others) and non-peatland sites (e.g., Point Barrow, Alaska, and Spasskaya, Siberia). LPJ-WHyMe is a further development of LPJ-WHy, which dealt with the introduction of permafrost and peatlands into LPJ. Implementing peatlands in LPJ required the addition of two new plant functional types (PFTs) (flood tolerant C3 graminoids and Sphagnum mosses) to the already existing ten PFTs, the introduction of inundation stress for non-peatland PFTs, a slow-down in decomposition under inundation, and the addition of a root exudates pool. LPJ-WHyMe v1.3.1 adds a methane model subroutine. This model product has one compressed data file (*.zip) and seven companion files.
ABoVE: Wetland Type, Slave River and Peace-Athabasca Deltas, Canada, 2007 and 2017
This dataset provides ecosystem-types for the Slave River Delta (SRD) and Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD), Canada, for the time periods circa 2007 and circa 2017. The image resolution is 12.5 m with 0.2-hectare minimum mapping unit. Included are an 18-class modified Enhanced Wetland Classification (EWC) scheme for wetland, peatland, and upland areas. Classes were derived from a Random Forest classification trained on multi-seasonal moderate-resolution images and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery sourced from aerial and satellite sensors, field data, and calculated indices. Indices included Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) and Topographic Position Index (TPI), both derived from a digital elevation model, to differentiate between land cover types. The c. 2007 remote sensing data were comprised of early and late growing season Landsat-5, ERS2, L-Band PALSAR from 2006 to 2010 and growing season Landsat thermal composites. The c. 2017 remote sensing data were comprised of early and late growing season Landsat-8 and L-Band PALSAR-2 from 2017 to 2019, Sentinel-1 June VV and VH mean and standard deviations, and growing season Landsat thermal composites. Elevation indices from multi-resolution TPI and HAND were created from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Advanced Land Observing Satellite 30 m Global Spatial Data Model. Also included are the images used for classification and the classification error matrices for each map and time period. Data are provided in GeoTIFF and GeoPackage file formats.
Delta-X: Aboveground Biomass and Necromass across Wetlands, MRD, Louisiana, 2021, V2
This dataset contains total aboveground biomass (AGB) and necromass (AGN), and total carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus content of aboveground biomass (AGB) and necromass (AGN) samples collected from herbaceous wetlands in the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins in southeastern coastal Louisiana during 2021. Field measurements were conducted at three sites in the Atchafalaya basin and three sites in the Terrebonne basin. Five of the sites are adjacent to sites from the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS). The other site is located in Wax Lake Delta (WLD) without appropriate adjacent CRMS sites. All AGB and AGN plant material within each plot was clipped at soil level, stored in plastic bags, and transported to the laboratory for further analyses. Herbaceous wetland sites in both basins were chosen to represent a salinity gradient including freshwater, brackish, and saline ecosystems. These data cover the period 2021-03-19 to 2021-03-31 (spring) and 2021-08-19 to 2021-08-27 (fall).
SAFARI 2000 Freshwater Wetlands, 1-Deg (Stillwell-Soller et al.)
The data set consists of a southern Africa subset of the Global Distribution of Freshwater Wetlands database 1-degree data and are available in ASCII GRID and binary image files formats. The Global Distribution of Freshwater Wetlands database has been assembled from two data sets: Aselman and Crutzen's (AC) (1989) wetlands data set and Klinger's (pers. comm., 1995) Political Alaska data set. The aim is to provide an accurate, comprehensive and uniform set of files for convenient specification of wetlands in global climate models. The main source of data is AC global maps of percent cover for a variety of wetlands categories at 2.5-deg latitude by 5-deg longitude resolution. There is some reorganization for seasonally varying categories. Using bilinear interpolation, the AC data was interpolated to a standard 1-deg by 1-deg grid. The AC data set is geographically complete except for the Alaska region. More information can be found at: ftp://daac.ornl.gov/data/safari2k/vegetation_wetlands/soller_wetlands/comp/sollerwetlands_readme.pdf.
Delta-X: Aboveground Vegetation Structure, Herbaceous Wetlands, MRD, LA, USA, V2
This dataset provides mean stem diameter, mean height, dominant species, hydrogeomorphic zone (HGM), and stem density for vegetation in herbaceous wetlands collected in the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins in southeastern coastal Louisiana. The data were collected between 2021-03-21 to 2021-03-31 during the Delta-X Spring 2021 deployment, and from 2021-08-19 to 2021-08-27 during the Fall deployment. Field measurements were conducted at six sites in the Atchafalaya (N = 3) and Terrebonne (N = 3) basins. Five of the sites were adjacent to sites from the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS), and the other site was in the Wax Lake Delta (WLD) without appropriate adjacent CRMS sites. Sites in both basins were chosen to represent a salinity gradient including freshwater, brackish, and saline ecosystems. At each herbaceous wetland site, duplicate sampling stations (30 m apart) were established parallel to the wetland edge at 25 and 50 m within the intertidal zone to capture within site variability in vegetation dynamics and soil properties. The data are provided in comma-separated values (*.csv) format.
Digital Elevation Models for the Global Change Research Wetland, Maryland, USA, 2016
This dataset contains four alternative digital elevation models (DEMs) at 1 m resolution and model performance statistical metrics for the Global Change Research Wetland (GCReW) site on the Rhode River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, USA, for the year 2016. Three DEMs were created by using different strategies for correcting positive biases in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-based DEMs that are common in tidal wetlands. These included (1) applying a single average offset based on a literature review, (2) using the LiDAR Elevation Correction with NDVI (LEAN)-method, and (3) applying plant community-specific offsets using a local vegetation cover map. Existing LiDAR data at 1 m resolution collected in 2011 was the basis for these DEMs. The fourth DEM was created by using Empirical Bayesian Kriging to extrapolate between measured ground points. The elevation is provided in meters relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). To calibrate the four approaches, the elevation of the entire marsh complex was surveyed at 20 m x 20 m resolution to document the distribution of elevation relative to tidal datums from a single year. Two Trimble R8 real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS receivers were used to survey 525 points over the complex from July 26, 2016, to August 15, 2016. Relative plant cover was also documented. Tidal datums were calculated from the nearby Annapolis, MD tidal gauge located 13 km from GCReW.
LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Monthly Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency V001
The Lund-Potsdam-Jena Earth Observation SIMulator (LPJ-EOSIM) model estimates global wetland methane (CH4) emissions using simulated wetland extent and characteristics including soil moisture, temperature, and carbon content. For this dataset, wetlands are defined as land areas that are either permanently or seasonally saturated, excluding small ponds, lakes, and coastal wetlands. These wetland CH4 flux data will be used to support the United States Greenhouse Gas Center ([GHGC](https://earth.gov/ghgcenter)) and its mission to study natural GHG fluxes. The model will also be used to facilitate improved rapid detection and attribution of climate-carbon feedback, and in strategic placement of measurement campaigns and monitoring systems as they relate to predicted biogeochemical hotspots. The LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Monthly Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency (LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E_LL) Version 1 data product provides simulated monthly wetland CH4 flux globally at a spatial resolution of 0.5 degrees. The monthly simulation data contains aggregate versions of the daily LPJ-EOSIM L2 Global Simulated Daily Wetland Methane Flux Low Latency ([LPJ_EOSIM_L2_DCH4E_LL](https://doi.org/10.5067/Community/LPJ-EOSIM/LPJ_EOSIM_L2_DCH4E_LL.001)) Version 1 data. The monthly data are presented in four Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) files: two based on the aggregated daily forcing datasets Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA5), and two containing the mean and standard deviation values calculated from the monthly aggregate data. Due to the latency of global carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) concentration estimates required for computation of LPJ-EOSIM simulated monthly CH4 flux data products, low latency (LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E_LL) and high latency ([LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E](https://doi.org/10.5067/Community/LPJ-EOSIM/LPJ_EOSIM_L2_MCH4E.001)) collections are available. Low latency data are delivered on a two-month cadence throughout the year. Granules will also be updated as new CO2 input data become available. Please refer to Section 2.0.1 of the User Guide for a more detailed explanation of estimated CO2 inputs and timing for scheduled updates to the collections.
Delta-X: Belowground Biomass and Necromass across Wetlands, MRD, LA, USA, 2021, V2
This dataset contains total belowground biomass (BGB) and necromass (BGN), and total carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus content of samples collected from herbaceous wetlands in the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins of the Mississippi River Delta in southeastern coastal Louisiana, U.S., during March and August 2021. The data were collected during the Delta-X Spring and Fall deployments. Field measurements were conducted at three sites in the Atchafalaya basin and three sites in the Terrebonne basin. Five of the sites are adjacent to sites from the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS). The other site is located in Wax Lake Delta (WLD) without appropriate adjacent CRMS sites. Herbaceous wetland sites in both basins were chosen to represent a salinity gradient including freshwater, brackish, and saline ecosystems. Root biomass samples were collected using a gouge soil auger.
ABoVE: Wetland Vegetation Classification for Peace-Athabasca Delta, Canada, 2019
This dataset contains land cover classification focused on water and wetland vegetation communities over the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Canada. Four classification maps with 5-m resolution were derived various combinations of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) and Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) acquired in July and September 2019, and a historical LiDAR archive data. The maps include 10 land cover classes, including open water, emergent aquatic vegetation types, terrestrial vegetation, and forest. Based on field data, the best performing model, which combined all three data sources, achieved an overall accuracy of 93.5%. The land cover maps are provided in GeoTIFF format along with polygons of AVIRIS-NG, UAVSAR, and LiDAR footprints in shapefile and KML formats.
Coastal Wetland Elevation and Carbon Flux Inventory with Uncertainty, USA, 2006-2011
This dataset provides maps of coastal wetland carbon and methane fluxes and coastal wetland surface elevation from 2006 to 2011 at 30 m resolution for coastal wetlands of the conterminous United States. Total coastal wetland carbon flux per year per pixel was calculated by combining maps of wetland type and change with soil, biomass, and methane flux data from a literature review. Uncertainty in carbon flux was estimated from 10,000 iterations of a Monte Carlo analysis. In addition to the uncertainty analysis, this dataset also provides a probabilistic map of the extent of tidal elevation, as well as the geospatial files used to create that surface, and a land cover and land cover change map of the coastal zone from 2006 to 2011 with accompanying estimated median soil, biomass, methane, and total CO2 equivalent annual fluxes, each with reported 95% confidence intervals, at 30 m resolution. Land cover was quantified using the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP), a Landsat-based land cover mapping product.
LBA Regional Freshwater Wetlands, 1-Degree (Stillwell-Soller et al.)
This data set consists of a subset of a 1-degree gridded global freshwater wetlands database (Stillwell-Soller et al. 1995). This subset was created for the study area of the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) in South America (i.e., 10° N to 25° S, 30° to 85° W). The data are in ASCII GRID format.The global freshwater wetlands database was assembled from two data sets: Aselman and Crutzen's (1989) wetlands data set and Klinger's political Alaska data set (pers. comm. to L. M. Stillwell-Soller, 1995). The aim of Stillwell-Soller's global data set was to provide an accurate, comprehensive and uniform set of files for convenient specification of wetlands in global climate models. The main source of data was Aselman and Crutzen's global maps of percent cover for a variety of wetlands categories at 2.5-degree latitude by 5-degree longitude resolution. There was some reorganization for seasonally varying categories. Aselman and Crutzen's data were interpolated to a standard 1-degree by 1-degree grid through bilinear interpolation. Their data were geographically complete except for the Alaskan region, for which Klinger's data set provided values.More information can be found at ftp://daac.ornl.gov/data/lba/land_use_land_cover_change/soller_wetlands/comp/soller_readme.pdf.LBA was a cooperative international research initiative led by Brazil. NASA was a lead sponsor for several experiments. LBA was designed to create the new knowledge needed to understand the climatological, ecological, biogeochemical, and hydrological functioning of Amazonia; the impact of land use change on these functions; and the interactions between Amazonia and the Earth system.

LBA-ECO LC-07 Wetland Extent, Vegetation, and Inundation: Lowland Amazon Basin
This data set provides a map of wetland extent, vegetation type, and dual-season flooding state of the entire lowland Amazon basin. As described in Hess et al. (2015), the classified image was derived from the Global Rain Forest Mapping Project (GRFM) Amazon mosaics (Rosenqvist et al 2000; Siqueira et al. 2002) acquired during Oct.-Nov. 1995 and May-June 1996, corresponding to the low-flood and high-flood seasons for much of the central Amazon. Hess et al. (2003) mapped wetland extent, vegetative cover, and flooding state for an 18 degree × 8 degree portion of the central Amazon using the dual-season GRFM mosaics. This study extends the previous wetlands mapping to report the first validated estimate of wetland extent, cover, and flooding for the lowland Amazon basin. A wetlands mask was created by segmentation of the mosaics and clustering of the resulting polygons; a rules set was then applied to classify wetland areas into five land cover classes and two flooding classes using dual-season backscattering values. The mapped wetland area of 8.4 × 105 km2 is equivalent to 14 % of the total basin area (5.83 × 106 km2) and 17% of the lowland basin (5.06 × 106 km2). The mapped flooding extent is representative of average high and low-flood conditions for latitudes north of 6 degrees S; flooding conditions were less well captured for the southern part of the basin. The wetlands map is provided in GeoTIFF format using two coordinate systems: unprojected (Geographic) with pixel size of 3 arcseconds, and Albers Conical Equal Area with pixel size of 100 m.
Boreal Arctic Wetland Methane Emissions, 2002-2021
This dataset provides an upscaled estimate of Boreal-Arctic wetland CH4 emissions at a weekly time scale from 2002 to 2021 at 0.5 by 0.5-degree spatial resolution. Ground truth data on wetland CH4 emissions from eddy covariance towers (139 site years) and chambers (168 site years) were used to train and validate a causality-guided machine learning model. The trained model was then used to estimate CH4 emissions at grid cells that have wetlands and located above 44 degrees north. The data are provided in netCDF format.
SHIFT: Wetland Spectra, Salinity, and Fractional Cover, Devereux Slough, CA, 2022
This dataset includes field data, analysis code, and corresponding airborne imagery collected and generated during the 2022 NASA Surface Biology Geology (SBG) High Frequency Time series (SHIFT) campaign within Devereux Slough estuary in Santa Barbara County, California, USA. This campaign collected field data contemporaneously with weekly flights of the NASA's Airborne Visible-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) facility instrument over the study areas. Soil samples were collected in North Campus Open Space and Coal Oil Point Reserve between 2022-02-24 to 2022-09-16 and analyzed for salinity (electric conductivity). Soil samples were paired with corresponding AVIRIS-NG flights, and AVIRIS-NG Level 2A Unrectified Reflectance data were used to derive fractional cover and vegetation and soil indices across the study area. Multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) was used to estimate fractional cover for four cover classes. Additionally, canopy response stress index, modified anthocyanin reflectance index, normalized difference vegetation index, and vegetation soil salinity index were derived. The data are provided in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF, ENVI, comma separated values (CSV) , and shapefile formats.
CMS: Global 0.5-deg Wetland Methane Emissions and Uncertainty (WetCHARTs v1.0)
This data set provides global monthly wetland methane (CH4) emissions and uncertainty data products derived from an ensemble of multiple terrestrial biosphere models, wetland extent scenarios, and CH4:C temperature dependencies. The data are at 0.5 by 0.5-degree resolution. Two model output data products are included in WetCHARTs v1.0: an output from the full ensemble for 2009-2010 and an output from a limited subset for 2001-2015. The intended use of the products is as a process-informed wetland CH4 emission and uncertainty data set for atmospheric chemistry and transport modelling (WetCHARTs).
Soil Organic Carbon Distributions in Tidal Wetlands of the Northeastern USA
This dataset provides estimates of soil organic carbon (SOC) in tidal wetlands for the northeastern United States. The data cover the period 1998-2018. Northeastern U.S. tidal wetlands and bordering areas were harmonized from government agencies [U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS), USDA-NRCS - Rapid Carbon Assessment (RaCA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - National Wetland Condition and Assessment (EPA-NWCA)] and published studies. Point data for carbon stocks (in kg m-2) at four soil depths (0-5, 0-30, 0-100, and 0-200 cm) are included. SOC for the four depths was predicted for eight regional zones using regression models driven by environmental covariates. Two methods were used to estimate parameters for these models, a Random Forest (RF) Ranger method and a Quantile Regression Forest (QRF) model. The distribution of SOC was predicted for tidal wetland cover types mapped by Correll et al. (2019). Predictions and uncertainties are available at a 3 m resolution.
Soil Organic Carbon and Wetland Intrinsic Potential, Hoh River Watershed, WA, 2012-13
This dataset contains estimates of soil organic carbon stocks and wetland intrinsic potential (WIP) across the Hoh River Watershed in the Olympic Peninsula, WA, USA in 2012-2013. Estimates were derived from an equation based on wetland intrinsic potential and geology type (Stewart et al., 2023). Wetland intrinsic potential estimates the likelihood that that an area is a wetland using a random forest model built on vegetation, hydrology, and soil data (Halabisky et al., 2022). SOC estimates at 1 m and 30 cm, SOC standard deviations, and WIP are presented in Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (*.tif) format at 4-m resolution. Also included are 36 field observations of SOC collected from 2020-08-01 to 2022-06-29. These are contained in a comma separated (*.csv) file.
Delta-X: Real-Time Kinematic Elevation Measurements for Coastal Wetlands, LA, 2021
This dataset provides real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS elevation measurements, along with horizontal and vertical precision errors, obtained along transects near Louisiana's Coastwide Reference Monitoring Systems (CRMS) sites and on Mike Island in Wax Lake Delta (WLD). The data were collected during the Delta-X Spring Campaign from 2021-03-24 to 2021-04-02. The data are provided in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
Delta-X: Root Stable Isotopes from Herbaceous Wetlands, MRD, LA, USA, August 2021
This dataset contains carbon-13 (13C) and nitrogen-15 (15N) isotopic signatures of belowground root biomass samples from herbaceous wetlands in the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins of the Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana, U.S., during August 2021. The data were collected during the Delta-X Fall deployment. Field measurements were conducted at three sites in the Atchafalaya basin and three sites in the Terrebonne basin. Five of the sites are adjacent to sites from the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS). The other site is located in Wax Lake Delta (WLD) without appropriate adjacent CRMS sites. Herbaceous wetland sites in both basins were chosen to represent a salinity gradient including freshwater, brackish, and saline ecosystems. Root biomass samples were collected using a gouge soil auger. Bulk isotopic signatures in living fine roots were measured with a mass spectrometer coupled to an elemental analyzer.
LBA-ECO LC-07 Monthly Mean Flooded Wetlands Habitat, Central Amazon Basin: 1979-1996
This data set reports monthly mean inundation areas (square kilometers) for four cover classes of Central Amazon wetlands habitat: Open water (OW), river channel (RC) class, macrophyte (MA) class, and a flooded forest (FF) class, which also incorporates a flooded shrub class. The full study area was a 1.77 million km2 quadrant covering the Central Amazon Basin. Inundation was also calculated from three subsets of this area: (1) covering only the Amazon/Solimoes River mainstem and (2) the Eastern and (3) the Western halves of this mainstem area. There is one comma-delimited ASCII data file in this data set.
