# The datasets provided here support the publication "Tree contributions to climate change adaptation through reduced cattle heat stress and benefits to milk and beef production" ## Folder "ANZ scenarios" contains geotiff spatial data representing projected DMIf for A-NZ under tree and no tree conditions # The folders are named in the format # RCP-Year-Model-id-tree condition # in which RCP is the Representative Concentration pathway # Year is the modelled year # Model is the climate model used # id is a unique identifier for the combination of input variables and corresponds to the row number in Fig5DATA.csv # tree condition is either "noshade" indicating no tree presence and "shade" indicating tree presence # Each geotiff file contains 12 layers representing the months January-December. ## Folder "Input parameters ANZ" contains two datasets used in the A-NZ simulation # "dairy-agesize.csv" lists the characteristics of the dairy herd used in the simulation # sunhours.tiff is a geospatial dataset with 12 layers, indicating approximate daily sun hours for each of 12 months (January-December) ## Cattle heat stress code.R includes equations and some datasets used in simulation # This scripts is written in the R statistical programming language # It includes 5 generally applicable functions that represent equations listed in the Supplementary Information # It includes one example function used to process the A-NZ climate projection datasets used for the simulation # The code also includes some datasets e.g. Table 1 from the paper and a table of beef age and size classes ## Fig1DATA.csv # This file includes data used to create Figure 1 ## Fig2DATA.csv # This file includes data used to create Figure 2 ## Fig3DATA.tif # This file includes geospatial data used to create Figure 3 ## Fig5DATA.csv # This file includes simulation output data used to create Figure 5 ## FigS2DATA.shp and associated files # These files are a shapefile gformat geospatial dataset used to create Figure S2 and parameterise the A-NZ simulation ## Folder "Climate" contains geotiff spatial data representing climate data layers # The folders are named in the format # RCP-Year-Model-id-climate variable # in which RCP is the Representative Concentration pathway # Year is the modelled year # Model is the climate model used # id is a unique identifier for the combination of input variables and corresponds to the row number in Fig5DATA.csv # climate variable corresponds to the relevant climate variable # Each geotiff file contains 12 layers representing the months January-December.
