Dataset

Ensemble outputs from Ecosystem Service models for water supply, aboveground carbon storage and use of water, grazing, charcoal and firewood by beneficiaries in sub-Saharan Africa

Natural EnvironmentSub-Saharan AfricaUK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UK CEH)

Dataset Objective

To estimate the mean and median ensemble outputs from 4-6 individual ecosystem service models for Sub-Saharan Africa, for above ground Carbon stock, firewood use, charcoal use and grazing use.

Context

Making ensembles results in a smoothing effect whereby the individual model uncertainties are cancelled out and a signal of interest is more likely to emerge.

What is included

Dataset entails stored carbon, available water supply, water use, including beneficiaries, non-timber forest product (firewood, including beneficiaries), non-timber forest product(charcoal, including beneficiaries), and grazing, including beneficiaries.
