The dataset contains output from the PrimeSCale model that combines observation-based data on plant and soil properties to quantify the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE). Data are presented in the form of RPE ratios and RPE-induced soil organic carbon (SOC) losses across the terrestrial northern circumpolar permafrost area.
The data cover current (year 2010) and possible future (year 2100) conditions as well as cumulative (2010 – 2100) values for the entire study area. For the future, the model is run under the representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios 4.5 and 8.5, representing medium and high scenarios for anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
The simulations consider projected changes in active layer thickness (ALT), gross primary production (GPP), vegetation distribution and growing season length based on existing models. The dataset grid cells have a dimension of 5 km × 5 km × 5 cm.

Data description
The core of this dataset consists of three multi band GeoTIFF files with Rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) ratios across the terrestrial northern circumpolar permafrost area, and three similar files with associated uncertainty estimates. The study area includes 33.7 million active grid cubes (561,956 grid cells), with a dimension of 5 km × 5 km × 5 cm. File size (all files together): 51 MB
In addition, the dataset includes a spreadsheet file (xlsx), which contains intermediate output data of the PrimeSCale model in an easily accessible format.
The dataset also includes a pdf with metadata for the model output data, which is the same as presented here:
Model output data
RPEs are summed over soil layers for each grid cell, in files with the following names:

Associated uncertainty estimates are provided in:
- CV_RPE_ratio.tif
