[{"name":"wang-erlandsson-2016-root-zone-1","title":"Global root zone storage capacity from satellite-based evaporation","summary":"This dataset includes global root zone storage capacity (a.k.a., soil water storage capacity) derived from satellite-based evaporation and precipitation data. The approach used does not require soil or vegetation information, is model independent, and is in principle scale independent. The key assumption made is that vegetation optimises its root zone storage capacity to bridge critical dry periods. The data exist at 0.5 degree resolution, with a maximum coverage of 80N-56S.
