Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA-ECO) Project Website

Documentation Revision Date: 2021-09-10

Dataset Version: 1

Summary

This dataset contains an archived copy of the LBA-ECO Project website as of 2013, provided for informational purposes only. Updates to the website and associated content have not been made since 2013. The database that once provided content for this website was transitioned to text and is included herein. The Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) was an intensive scientific investigation of the tropical rainforest of Brazil and portions of adjacent countries. LBA used intensive remote-sensing techniques and ground-based experiments to investigate the atmosphere-biosphere-hydrosphere dynamics of this large tropical region. The LBA Project encompasses several scientific disciplines, or components. The LBA-ECO component focuses on the question: How do tropical forest conversion, regrowth, and selective logging influence carbon storage, nutrient dynamics, trace gas fluxes, and the prospect for sustainable land use in Amazonia?

LBA-ECO datasets are archived at the ORNL DAAC and available for download at Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment project page. There are more than 100 archived datasets in the following areas: Ancillary Data, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Dynamics, Grab Bag, Human Dynamics, Land Use and Land Cover Change, Nutrient Dynamics, Physical Climate, Surface Hydrology and Water Chemistry, and Trace Gases.

This dataset contains a single file LBA-ECO_Website.tar.gz which is a compressed directory containing html pages from the LBA-ECO Project website.

Dataset Overview

Project: Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment (LBA-ECO)

This dataset contains an archived copy of the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment Project website as of 2013. The LBA-ECO component focuses on the question: How do tropical forest conversion, regrowth, and selective logging influence carbon storage, nutrient dynamics, trace gas fluxes, and the prospect for sustainable land use in Amazonia? The last updates to the website and the underlying database were made in 2013. The website and its underlying database were integrated into the pages presented in this archived dataset.

Data File Information

This dataset contains one file, LBA-ECO_Website.tar.gz, which is a compressed directory containing a complete copy of all html pages from the LBA-ECO Project website. These files may be opened in any web browser.

Application and Derivation

This website content is provided for informational purposes only.

Quality Assessment

Each dataset archived from the LBA-ECO project contains unique quality assessment details and provides references to relevant publications. 

Data Acquisition, Materials, and Methods

This archived website provides a complete copy of all the html pages from the LBA-ECO Project in a compressed file and is provided for informational purposes only. The last updates to the website were made in 2013. It should be noted that most of the changes made in 2013 were to transform database driven content into static web pages.

The LBA-ECO component focuses on the question:

  • How do tropical forest conversion, regrowth, and selective logging influence carbon storage, nutrient dynamics, trace gas fluxes, and the prospect for sustainable land use in Amazonia?.

There are more than 100 archived datasets in the following areas: Ancillary Data, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Dynamics, Grab Bag, Human Dynamics, Land Use and Land Cover Change, Nutrient Dynamics, Physical Climate, Surface Hydrology and Water Chemistry, and Trace Gases. See Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere project page for a complete listing of all archived data products produced from the LBA-ECO project. 

Data Access

These data are available through the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC).
