Summary

This data release provides inputs needed to run the LANDIS PRO forest landscape model and the LINKAGES 3.0 ecosystem process model for the temperate-boreal ecotone Great Xing’an Mountains of northeastern China, and simulation results that underlie figures and analysis in the accompanying publication. The study compared the impacts of small and large fires on vegetation dynamics. The data release includes input data for LINKAGES including soils, landtype, and climate data; initial conditions of stands in the study area for LANDIS PRO; and maps of LANDIS PRO output for each model grid cell including total trees, total biomass (Mg/ha), and tree density (trees/ha) in ten-year timesteps. Output for four climate and fire scenarios are included [...]

Purpose

This study compares the impacts of fire regime scenarios with the same fire-return interval but differing fire sizes. Results demonstrate that small, frequent fires can cause more rapid changes in vegetation than large, infrequent fires. The study provides valuable data for forest managers who seek to maintain current vegetation characteristics or promote resiliency to climate change.
