| Summary: | A study investigating the mechanisms that control long-term response of tussock tundra to fire and to increases in air temperature, CO2, nitrogen deposition and phosphorus weathering. The MBL MEL was used to simulate the recovery of three types of tussock tundra, unburned, moderately burned, and severely burned in response to changes in climate and nutrient additions. The simulations indicate that the recovery of nutrients lost during wildfire is difficult under a warming climate because warming increases nutrient cycles and subsequently leaching within the ecosystem. The study was published in Ecological Applications (in press, 2016). This dataset is the long term archive of the results published in the paper. The full dataset has been broken into two parts because of the number and size of the files. Part 1 contains MBL MEL executable, a model description file in word, and the input files to run the simulations. Part 2 contains the output files for all simulations. Both Part 1 and Part 2 contain several different types of files. In Part 1 the comma separated ascii file included with the dataset is one of the many driver files used for the simulations. The variable descriptions below describe the variables in that file and all the driver files. In Part 2 the comma separated ascii file included with the dataset is one of the many output files from the simulations. The variable descriptions below describe the variables in that file and all the output files. To access all the files in the dataset be sure to download the two zip files described in the Methods section below. Note that the full download is large, over 700 MB for each part.
