New Zealand Pasture Production under AR5 RCP scenarios

This dataset contains Biome-BGC v4.2 model outputs of national pasture production forced with present day and 4 future projected CO2 Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP past, 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) taken from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. Meteorological inputs used to run the model were downscaled from six different General Circulation Models (GCMs): BCC-CSM1.1, CESM1-CAM5, GFDL-CM3, GISS-EL-R, HadGEM2-ES, and NorESM1-M. Outputs are provided for two different parameterizations of the Biome-BGC model to describe New Zealand’s two dominant types of pasture, dairy and sheep. The model was run at each point on NIWA’s Virtual Climate Station Network (VCSN), a 5 x 5 km national grid. The data consists of daily outputs at each grid box of net primary productivity (NPP), gross primary productivity, net ecosystem productivity (NEP), evapotranspiration (ET), water outflow, evaporation, transpiration, and soil water content, spanning 1971 – 2005 (RCP past) or 2006 – 2100 (RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5).

Purpose

These data were produced as part of the Climate Change Impacts and Implications (CCII) research programme, funded by the Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment and in collaboration with NIWA and Landcare Research. The CCII project aims to update and improve projections of climate trends, variability and extremes across New Zealand out to 2100, based on the latest global projections, and to add knowledge about potential impacts of climate change and variability on New Zealand’s environment. This dataset specifically addresses the potential impacts of climate change on national pasture production and New Zealand’s pastoral-based industries.
