Components of the complete budget for SAFE intensive carbon plots

Measured components of total carbon budget at SAFE project, values, with standard errors, for each 1-ha carbon plots for 11 plots investigated across a logging gradient from unlogged old-growth to heavily logged. These data are also published in below-ground carbon cycle in Riutta et al 2021 GBC and allocation of net primary productivity from Riutta et al 2019 GCB. This worksheet include two addititional carbon plots from Lambir Hills National Park (see Kho et al. 2013 JGR), which are not part of the SAFE Project. Below-ground carbon cycle data can be found at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3266770 and leaf respiration at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3247630. SAFE Intensive Carbon Plots, part of the Global Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) network, see http://gem.tropicalforests.ox.ac.uk/. All the methods and installation is described in detail in the GEM Intensive Carbon Plots manual, available at http://gem.tropicalforests.ox.ac.uk/files/rainfor-gemmanual.v3.0.pdf.
