A dataset of carbon, water and heat fluxes of Zoige alpine meadow from 2015 to 2020

With abundant and widespread carbon, Alpine meadow boasts one of the most important ecosystems on Qinghai-Tibet Platea. It is essential to observe the carbon, water and heat fluxes in alpine meadow ecosystem for understanding and predicting the dynamics of carbon storage in alpine regions. This dataset includes the observation data of carbon, water and heat fluxes in Zoige alpine meadow from 2015 to 2020. The data collection work was carried out at the Field Scientific Observation and Research Station of Hongyuan alpine meadow ecosystem on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Based on the open-circuit vorticity correlation system, the observation work also covers the carbon dioxide flux, methane flux, water and heat flux. The data of this station has been sorted out a set of long-term, continuous and standardized datasets of ecosystem carbon and water fluxes and key meteorological elements through the data processing system of China Flux Observation and Research Network (ChinaFLUX). This dataset is of great significance for accurately evaluating the position and role of carbon and water fluxes in the regional and global carbon and water cycles of the alpine meadow ecosystem in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
