CO2MAP data

Dataset links on this page take you to the CO2MAP databases currently available.

CO2MAP data must be properly cited and acknowledged.

Notes:

Meta-analyses utilize data made available in previously-published sources. Datasets are created specifically for questions being addressed by researchers affiliated with CO2MAP, and will not contain all data available in all sources. Data are collected and checked by CO2MAP, then checked again by on the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC). Datasets are then made available in both ASCII and MicroSoft Excel formats on the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) server. Files are identified as db*.*.

Data types:

All data types, with the exception of the complete CO2MAP bibliography, are found together with specific datasets at CDIAC.
    1. Datasets extracted from published sources.

      2. Datasets typically contain 26 or 28 fields reporting responses of species to elevated carbon dioxide, including mean, sample size, and, when available from published sources, variance (reported either as standard error or standard deviation). Additional fundamental information is also reported, including response variable, genus and species, fundamental experimental information, including CO2 levels, duration of study, growth medium, growth method, interacting experimental treatments, and additional classification information.

    2. Comments; additional information from published sources.

      3. Comments files provide additional information about the research producing data contained in datasets. Files are identified as comments.*; and are available as ASCII or Excel.

    3. References for each dataset.

      4. References used for each dataset are provided in ASCII and Excel formats. Files are identified as ref.*.

    4. Documentation (meta-data) for each dataset.

      5. Complete documentation (meta-data) of datasets is provided. Files are identified as db*.doc. Documentation files provide download instructions, also given here.

    5. Complete bibliography.

CO2MAP has identified and collected nearly all of the scientific literature dealing with effects of atmospheric CO2 on native, managed, and crop vegetation and ecosytems. This information is maintained using Papyrus software. Bibliographic data are not posted on the CDIAC server, but may be available by contacting CO2MAP.

Available datasets:

DB1018

Data on responses of woody plants to increased atmospheric CO2 levels. Eighty-four independent CO2-enrichment studies, covering 65 species and 35 response parameters, including mean response, sample size and variance of the response (either as standard deviation or standard error). The effects of environmental factors (e.g., drought, heat, ozone, ultraviolet-B radiation), and the effects of experimental conditions (e.g., duration of CO2 exposure, pot size, type of CO2 exposure facility) on plant responses to elevated CO2 levels can be explored with this database. The database consists of a 26-field data file of CO2-exposure experiment responses by woody plants, a paper-reference file, a paper-comment file and SAS and FORTRAN-77 codes to read the data file.

DB1018A and DB1018B

Data on responses of graminoids (wild and domestic) to elevated CO2. DB 1018A includes mean response, sample size and variance (either as standard deviation or standard error), while DB 1018B includes studies reporting only means and sample sizes. These data expected to be available on line in early November 1998.

 

 Using and citing CO2MAP data:

CO2 Meta-Analysis Project data should be adequately cited whenever you use them in any way, including published manuscripts, public presentations, etc. Sources for how to cite electronic data are provided below. If you have questions, please contact CO2MAP.

We welcome being notified if you use CO2MAP data. Please send us your reasons for acquiring the data, a description of publication intentions, and copies of published papers or reports (or notification of use of data in public presentations). If you transmit out data to other researchers, please let us know.
