Soil respiration (CO emission to the atmosphere from soils) is an important component of the global carbon cycle. In highly seasonal ecosystems the magnitudes and the underlying mechanisms that control soil respiration (R) are still poorly understood and measurements are underrepresented in the global flux community. In this dataset, systematic and monthly measurements of R were conducted with an infrared gas analyzer coupled to a static chamber during 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 in a tropical dry forest with a land use history from Northwestern México.

Article Synopsis
  • - The FLUXNET2015 dataset encompasses ecosystem-scale data on carbon dioxide, water, and energy exchange, collected from 212 global sites contributing over 1500 site-years of data until 2014.
  • - The dataset was systematically quality controlled and processed, facilitating consistency for various applications in ecophysiology, remote sensing, and ecosystem modeling.
  • - For the first time, derived data products such as time series, ecosystem respiration, and photosynthesis estimates are included, and 206 sites are made accessible under a Creative Commons license, with the processing methods available as open-source codes.
