A Database of Herbaceous Vegetation Responses to Elevated Atmospheric CO2, CDAIC/NDP-073

Entry ID: CDIAC_NDP073

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Numeric Data Package NDP-073 is a multiparameter database of
responses by herbaceous vegetation to increased atmospheric CO2 levels
compiled from the literature. Seventy-eight independent CO2-enrichment
studies, covering 53 species and 26 response parameters, reported mean
response, sample size, and variance of the response (either as
standard deviation or standard error). An additional 43 studies,
covering 25 species and 6 response parameters, did not report
variances. This numeric data package accompanies the Carbon Dioxide
Information Analysis Center's (CDIAC's) NDP- 072
(http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/epubs/ndp/ndp072/ndp072.html), which
provides similar information for woody vegetation.

Quality An important part of the data-packaging process at CDIAC involves the
quality assurance (QA) of data before distribution. To guarantee data
of the highest possible quality, CDIAC performs extensive QA checks,
examining the data for completeness, reasonableness, and accuracy,
through close cooperation with the data contributor.

All entries in the data file were visually inspected for
reasonableness, and selected entries were spot-checked against the
original publications.
