Abstract

This dataset contains the DigiBog_Congo outputs for the simulations in "Land-use change causes rapid carbon losses in Congo Basin peatlands across climate scenarios, whereas the effects of climate change alone are uncertain" (https://doi.org/10.1098/rtsb.2024.0486). The model code can also be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15319266.

This dataset was produced as part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project CongoPeat: Past, Present and Future of the Peatlands of the Central Congo Basin (grant reference: NE/R016860/1).

Title

DigiBog_Congo

Abstract

DigiBog_Congo was developed as a model of interfluvial (rain-fed) peatlands in the Congo Basin
and has successfully simulated long-term trends in peatland net carbon balance over 20,000
years. The model was structured and primarily parameterised using two years of empirical
data (litterfall, decomposition, and water-table depth) collected from two sites within an
interfluvial peatland.
