%X As a huge carbon sink, terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in global carbon balance. Desert ecosystems, as an important component of terrestrial ecosystems, are considered to be a hidden carbon sink in the global carbon cycle. The Gurbantunggut Desert is the second largest desert and the largest fixed semi fixed desert in China. The desert area has a dry climate, scarce water resources, sparse vegetation, abundant solar and thermal resources, fragile ecosystems, and is sensitive to climate change. Its soil carbon storage is high, carbon sink potential is strong, and it plays an important role in carbon balance. It also makes a significant contribution to CO2 exchange between the desert and the atmosphere interface. This dataset is from the continuous observation of greenhouse gas flux data from the Kelami Land Air Interaction Observation Station in the Gurbantunggut Desert 2021. The dataset not only provides data support for the establishment and validation of carbon balance models in desert ecosystems, but also provides scientific basis for the management of desert ecosystems in response to climate change.
