Methane Flux Response to Drought Patterns and Nitrogen Deposition in Temperate Steppe

A 99.6 KB dataset from a manipulative field experiment testing the effects of varying drought patterns and increased nitrogen deposition on methane (CH₄) flux. It was created by Lan Du and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model CH₄ flux as a function of manipulated drought intensity, duration, and frequency.
• Analyze the interaction effect between nitrogen deposition levels and specific drought patterns on methane emissions.
• Train regression models to predict CH₄ flux using experimental treatment variables from the field setup.

Strengths

• Data from a controlled manipulative field experiment isolating specific environmental drivers.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Focuses on a specific and ecologically relevant temperate steppe ecosystem in northern China.

Limitations

• Very small dataset at only 99.6 KB, indicating limited scope and sample size.
• Specific row count, column names, and measurement frequency are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single temperate steppe region in northern China.
