CO2 uptake of urban vegetation in a warming Nordic cityParameter source

Where: Table B.1, site characteristics and model parameters used for Helsinki, p. 11

Publishes 1.0 m depth and 0.23 m maximum soil-water capacity for the park-tree configuration.

Data used in manuscript CO2 uptake of urban vegetation in a warming Nordic cityParameter source

Where: Zenodo Input_met.zip/Input_met/SUEWS_Soil.txt, code 73

Stores depth 1000 mm, capacity 229 mm, conductivity 0.0005 and density 1.16.

Where: Zenodo Input_met.zip/Input_met/SUEWS_Veg.txt, codes 833, 834, 843 and 844

Assigns SoilTypeCode 73 to the deciduous and evergreen park-tree surface rows with lawn or mixed-low vegetation.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The label identifies the published parameter class or model configuration.
Targetsupported
The source uses the parameter for the same SUEWS target represented by the record.
Valuessupported
The Zenodo SUEWS_Soil code 73 row directly stores 1000 mm depth, 229 mm capacity, 0.0005 conductivity and 1.16 density. Table B.1 independently corroborates the rounded 1.0 m depth and 0.23 m park-tree capacity.
Sourcesupported
The citable Zenodo dataset is the direct source for the complete exact tuple and its surface selections. The journal article separately validates the rounded depth and capacity.
Placesupported
The place agrees with the source scope or is explicitly generic.
Representativenesssupported
The declared evidence reach does not exceed the source scope.
Methodsupported
Literature records direct transcription of the citable archived configuration, checked against the associated publication; the database performs no transformation or refit.
Identitysupported
Stable path, target, source and values identify one retained database record.

Scientific note

The original citable archive directly supplies the complete executable code-73 soil tuple and proves its use by all four Helsinki park-tree surface configurations. Table B.1 independently corroborates its rounded depth and capacity. No parameter value, stable path or legacy identity is changed.
